working from home

Anyone here work from home, over the net?
What do you do?
What do you think of it?
What are the hours and pay like?

I spend about an hour a day travelling to and from the
office which costs me train fare and could be time spent
earning.

Anything more than 1/2 commute
would kill me.
on a M-F basis? i could think of better things to
do with my time.
At least you have the train to rely on, where a car you
would have more potential for repairs, weather, deer.

I also travel by train an hour every (work)day. So far, I
like it. I'm thinking about buying a car, but the train is
cheaper, and when I'm tired in the morning, coffe, newspaper
and music gives me a nice start of the day.

Golden rules.
1. don't turn the telly on.
2. don't crank open messenger.
3. If you answer the phone, get off it asap.
4. don't go anywhere near pubs.

Yes, it sounds like it requires a lot of will power to
resist slacking off work at home. Although I suppose the
money would be the main motivator, you don't work, you can't
pay the rent, eat, go out with your friends, etc...

I know some mates of mine who do it, and they say it's a
very cool thing. You wake up in the morning and you don't
have to go nowhere outside your own abitation, you just can
sit down on your chair and start to work at home. It must be
pretty relaxing indeed, I hate waking up soon in the
morning, especially when your office is far from your house.

By the end of my degree in multimedia and web security I
should (hopefully) be equipped enough to work from home.
Seems like a wicked lifestyle to have as long as it can be
maintained comfortably. I've seen others getting by quite
convincingly doing it (in IT), though it mightn't
necessarily be as profitable as rigid arrangements you can
actually survive from home without being a slave to time.
