is an RN case manager for a Medicare HMO. I have worked from home for many years and always meet or exceed my productivity standard. I am much more productive- I have no distractions at home- my office is set up; I get up and dress; no TV or radio. I have to remind myself to get up and walk around every couple of hours. Sure, I put in a few loads of laundry- on my lunch time. I do not run errands while I am on the clock. No small kids (well, no kids at home all- only cats- and they aren't demanding) I am not unusual. There are many productive work at home folk. I am one of them.
