I think you've done a very good list to keep the boredom at bay. Excellent.
Have a terrific day. :)
When I worked HR I wrote part of the policy manual and that alone will put you right to sleep!
Your list is very thorough! I work from home so my list includes blogging, surfing the net and playing with the furbabies!
Sandee: Thanks!
Diane: Oh my, I'd hate to actually have to write one of those things!
Beaded Tail: Working from home has its benefits for sure--I'd love to e able to bring my pets to work with me. My cats could lay on my desk and my dog would love walks around the office!
