The Benefits of Working at Home

Working at home certainly has its advantages. First of all, I save a lot of money on gasoline from commuting to a different work place. Secondly, I save money on office clothes and make-up. Hence I work in my pajamas or casual clothes like a t-shirt and a pair of shorts. Thirdly, I get to nap anytime I want to. Fourth, I don't have any nosy supervisor to look over my shoulders and checking on me. Fifth, I work at my own pace, setting the time and mood to work. It is like being my own boss at home. And I thank God for my blessings with a dream job since early 2004 until today.

I get paid a basic salary plus commissions for the projects that I bring in via my web site. That is why for every enquiry, I have to treat them as potential clients and print out for my boss to read every day. As my boss' laptop is spoilt, he is depending on me alone to show him all the printed emails and enquiries each day. We have good working relations and he puts his complete faith in me. We are a small company but a dynamic one where the use of computer and the internet is of utmost importance.

Formerly an IT Trainer

As I have mentioned in my previous post, one can get overwhelmed with using the computer and working for my present company because there may be lots of typing to do and other work to be completed. But thank goodness, my self-taught training as an Information Technology Trainer in Informatics, Singapore got me well prepared. I have learnt some short cut tricks here and there using MS Word, Excel and even PowerPoint. I am also proficient in using Adobe Photoshop and can process the images quite well - saturating the colours and optimizing them for faster downloading without compromising on the image quality. Despite the long hours, my job at Informatics was not too bad and I kind of enjoyed working there and it was my first employment after graduation.

Look for Actos Attorneys

Some of my relatives are lawyers with their own firms. They are successful businessmen and women in their own rights. I have an aunt who is a notary public, solicitor and commissioner of oath. She is now retired and enjoying life to the maximum. There are different areas of law such as conveyancing which deals with property transactions like drafting out the Sales and Purchase Agreement between the developer and buyer. There is also litigation where you have to fight out in court representing your clients.

Talking about law, you might like to know that some diabetes patients who have taken Actos may face an increased risk of developing bladder cancer. A US firm is actively accepting Actos bladder cancer cases nationwide. If you are a non-smoker who has contracted bladder cancer after taking Actos, contact Watts Guerra Craft LLP today. You can check out more about it by clicking on the link here >> actos attorneys.

I have previously worked for my solicitor aunt as a temporary legal secretary. She was using the old WordStar software in DOS application. Being an IT graduate, I got her to change to Windows operating system and she is now happily using MS Word and the internet.

Going to KL This Week

Last week, my boss has informed me that I will be going to KL this week. It will most probably be tomorrow or the day after. I have just finished processing 70 envelopes which is the third batch for this year - putting calendars and marketing letters into the envelopes, chopping the company address, pasting stamps, sealing them and finally pasting on the receivers' addresses. Although I work from a home office, there will always be work every day, depending on the amount which may vary according to email enquiries, etc. Sometimes, I also need to type out invoices and delivery orders and email them to existing clients. Being the only employee who handles all the computer work, I have to work fast and be proficient in MS Word, otherwise, you may be overwhelmed with the amount of work each day.

Blogging Takes Time

Blogging takes up a lot of time - especially when you want to spruce up your blog with lots of gorgeous photos and write ups. The photos need to be processed from the raw format in the digital camera. They have to be resized, touched-up, saturated with colors and copyright name added so that no one can steal them and use as their own. As much as blogging takes time, you also need to allocate time for God by meditating on his word, attending church service, singing songs of praise to worship Him, pray, etc. Blessed are those who meditate on God's word day and night. This requires a two-way relationship.
