Home Working (in the third world?)

Working from home is hard (yes honestly!!!).

Today I had 3 power cuts of short duration but they took down my router, so I lose my VPN and so my server connections.....you get the picture.

I was getting rather annoyed with it all until I started to think about people without at all (no this isn't an aren't we lucky lecture) and it reminded me of something I had read:

This holds 2 of the funniest news quotes I have ever heard: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/3107756.stm

"Only two weeks ago we had the power cut. I'm pretty browned off with living in south London."

Really! If only the power didn't go out once a fortnight everything in South London (and the rest of the UK) would be perfect!

"I have just brushed my teeth with mineral water. It is like living in the Third World."

Actually no, if your brushing your teeth with mineral water you bought at the 7/11 mate - you aren't in the Third World. Get a grip.

So I decided to get a grip and stop getting annoyed, and anyway Sainsburys delivered right in the middle of the 2nd power cut - perfect timing (so ok working from home has some benefits!)
