I find that I enjoy not having to get up and rush out the door to drive somewhere to work. I enjoy the fact that I have my "game plan" for the day and can tackle it without someone else getting in my way. As far as slow downs affecting me, I have found anymore that part of the problem was me allowing it to be acceptable as the norm. I sent out resumes and found places that ironically enough not only care more about their MTs, but also pay more and appreciate what I do. I plan on getting a laptop soon so I can download my voice files and work on my stuff in my patio.
