Do you work from home?
If so, what type of business do you have or are you in?

4. Did that for awhile (self-employed accountant)
had a hard time with cash flow. One big client was always late paying. Really screwed up my credit.

Just looking at my options since I'm unemployed on Friday.

9. I have for about the last 4 years.
The last company I worked for, and my current company, give people the choice of working in an office or working from home. I'm a vocational rehab counselor, and pretty much schedule my own days and such. Company provides internet, fax line, copier/fax machine, cell phone, laptop, and office supplies.

I love working from home!

11. I've wanted to find the best of both worlds
the security of working for a large organization and the freedom to work from home. With ADD, I work differently than most. I have to organize MY way, not the way everyone else does. Also, I work best late afternoon and into the night. Not exactly a good thing here in corporate cubicle hell.

12. Oh, do I hear you!
I don't have ADD, but I am not a morning person. I prefer to start work mid to late morning, and work part way through the evening. With few exceptions (a very occasional office meeting), I can pretty much arrange my schedule the way I want to. Works great for me.
