After our discussion in class last week about how people feel about what a work place should look like, I was surprised that some people wanted to work in an office someday, and have that 9-5 job. Even working in a cubicle didn’t sound bad to people as long as they didn’t have to sit there the entire day. Their ideas have still not changed mine. I will be disappointed with myself if I ever wind up in a boring office job. That is just not me, at all. I need to be running around, constantly moving and doing something. As a waitress, I am standing up for 8 hours at a time, sitting only rarely. That is what I am used to and that is what I like.
I could also never imagine myself working from home. To me, that just sounds like a way for people to become lazy. They don’t even have to get dressed to work. They do not leave their house, and they have no way to network and meet other people, unless its through a computer screen. While this might appeal to some people, I could never do this also. Going to work is like getting away from your house and things that go on inside of it. How can you escape that if you are just in a different room? If you have family in the house with you, you will probably constantly be distracted. I don’t think that that could work for me.
