The CK Daily – Working from Home 🏠
Happy Wednesday, happy time change week, and happy consume more coffee than you’ve ever consumed before to survive the week, week. Haha. Needless to say, I love this time change but I’m not a fan of the adjustments. Especially with a little one. But, cheers to more daylight!
This past weekend I got to see a colleague, now a good friend, that I worked with previously at a job where I was fully remote. I’m grateful for the opportunities that I’ve had to be able to work from home but I’m even more grateful for some of the incredible friendships I have gained in doing so.
Looking back, it’s cool to see how the relationships I have now formed. We only saw each other once a quarter (sometimes less) but were still able to find ways to connect and continue to develop sweet friendships outside of the workplace and even now in different jobs.
Working remotely has its ups and downs. I think for me, it has more ups than anything but there are some days where I do long for office conversations (think water cooler chat) or just to work in a different space. But I’m grateful for local coffee shops, or even the ability to move my computer to my kitchen counter!
Do you work remotely? What do you love about it? What challenges do you face with it?
Hope everyone has a wonderful week!
Ashley
