The curse of working from home

It's snowing here. Real, proper snow. Inches of the stuff. My daughter said "this is the best Christmas Day we've had this year." Great fun.

But it just highlights yet another problem with this pesky new information economy - it's harder to skive work :-(

Both of my daughters' schools were closed, so they're at home. Having fun. My wife's work closed, so she's at home. Having fun. My friends are all off work, too, so they're round our house. Having fun. It's too dangerous for me to cycle into the office right now, so I too stayed at home.

But I have an office full of computers and kit. So I kept right on working.

I should have been a builder...
