10 Things That Annoy Me About Work

I work from home so my list might be a little odd.
But there certainly are things that annoy me about working form home and about doing transcription work.

• Laundry
  There is always laundry to be done and my desk has a nice view of the laundry room!
• Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
  When you type for as many hours a day I always have flare ups if I’m not being careful.
• Lack of interaction
  Working from home limits the number of adults I actually interact with on a regular basis.
• Sitting, sitting and more sitting
  I sit at my desk and type and type and click and type some more. Needless to say that I have to make sure I hit the treadmill hard when I’m not working
• Clients
  I realize without my clients I would have no work. But do they have to eat, sniffle, chew, etc. while they are dictating. It is like getting paid to listen to somebody scratch their fingernails on a chalkboard.
• Stereotypes
  If I say I’m a Stay-at-home mom people assume i just sit and eat bon-bons all day. If I say I am a Work-at-home mom people assume I “play” at working and just sit and eat bon-bons all day.
• Taxes
  Being self-employed can sometimes be a killer come tax time. Write-offs are nice but the stress and anxiety is overwhelming sometimes.
• No VacationBeing self-employed there is no paid vacation, no paid sick days and no paid lunch.
• Coworkers
  Ha ha, I don’t have any! Unless you consider my family my coworkers (when they’re home). I love my family but sometimes the pestering between my kids can get to me!
• Work
  The fact that I have to work can be annoying. Wouldn’t it be better if I could just win the lottery?!
