Good on you. I can't imagine not working from home though I respect those who don't.

The ballots that you fill out on election day? I count them.

Is your name Chad? From the Florida elections?

It was 22 years working in that environment. I jumped at the chance.

I get to wear jeans every day. (I hate dress pants, ties and the rest of that crap.) I put all my expenses on my Capital One card and get reimbursed every week, by doing this, I acquire a boat load of points for airline travel for free. I keep refineries, mines and power plants from blowing up at startups, which can be a challenge at times, but I really enjoy all the detail.

Make the most of it. Once you get the taste it's very hard to go back, I would think.

It's a small growing company of just around 20 people. Been here for over 2 years and we are now growing. If I put the company's name or even what we do out there, I would expose myself and not in good way. :D

It's a blue collar business but we are sales driven.

I could say my favorite benefit is that I never have to purchase alcohol. We put on a number of high dollar fundraising events which I control the catering. When ever we get the opportunity to control the bar I play bartender and basically purchase what I want. Any left overs go home with me. I don't really over purchase, but there are times when people just are not in the mood to drink and I really score some great stuff. I have not bought a bottle of wine or beer in years. When people come to the house they are always amazed at my selection. This is more difficult with hard liquor, but when the right event comes along I stock up. I've built a nice scotch collection over the years.

Another benefit is that I have a client who invites me to a number of "business" functions. That's usually 3 or 4 college football games, and one 4-5 day no expense sparred business trip. I actually get to help select the city, which is typically based upon what NFL game is going on. This has allowed me to attend most stadium in the destination cities in the country.

NICE!!! :clap:

1. I get to meet sports figures as well as affluent, important people whom you would never otherwise know were important.

2. I get to talk about cars with people everyday

3. I get to go to shows all over the state/city and sometimes out of state too

4. I pretty much make my own hours, take lunch breaks when ever/however

5. I can **** off on CP because no one is here looking.....

We used to have free massages in the office once a week, now they are once a month and we have to pay. Still, we have a dedicated office for it and its nice to just take a 30 min break like that during the day.

I also get to travel to interesting places that would be really expensive to get to on my own. Not typical tourist destinations, but interesting nonetheless.

I can smoke, drink, get blow jobs in my"office".
