working from home

It’s a challenge for many people to get up early in the morning and get to their offices on time.
Like many others, I believed that working from home was a blessing.
So last Tuesday I called in sick to work and told my boss that I would stay at home and do my job
remotely.
I switched on my computer and logged in to Facebook first thing.
Then I reminded myself that I needed to concentrate and quickly logged out.
Since I wasn’t going into the office, I called off a meeting I had planned with a coworker and texted
my friend to say I was staying at home.
After that I managed do a bit of work before my friend called me back saying she would drop by in
half an hour for a cup of tea.
I checked out the contents of my cupboard only to discover that I had no tea. So I put on my coat
and went to the nearby shop.
When I got back home, I understood that there would be no chance for me to get around to
working again.
My friend turned up minutes later and we spent hours chatting over tea and sweets.E
I returned to the office the following day, sure that I would never try working from home again.
