However, there is also a downside to working at home all the time, and one of the things for me is that I miss the socialisation that normally happens at work.
I quite my job six months ago in order to run my husbands' side business here at home-he was working too hard. But I love it! I see and talk to people all the time and the business is running much more smoothly and profitably. At the same time, a huge load is off my husband and he's a much happier camper.

I loved my work but my office was boring and when it wasn't boring it was so stressful I felt like killing myself.
