There always seems to be a good excuse to stay home from work and cozy up inside.
The winters are cold and dreary, the summers are either riddled with thunderstorms or blisteringly hot, and spring and fall bring about a wave of allergens so ferocious no amount of antihistamines can touch it.
So enough with this “braving the elements” thing (even for that short walk from your door to your car and from your car to the office) — it’s time to consider a good work-from-home job.
