Return on the Work from Home experiment

In these 3 months since my last post, a lot of things have happened, of course !

One of the most significative is the habit to work from the village. Using my current terms of contract, I can schedule 2 days a week of distant work.

Doing this, and taking a friday-monday from home basis, you see that we were able to spend more time in the village than in the big city.

Last time, we pushed even a bit further the concept by taking off the Tuesday morning !

From the professional point of view, the results are very encouraging, my colleagues are quickly used to call me in case they need my help. I’m involved in a world wide project, lead by our US headquarters and it’s no difference where I am when I attend the meeting by phone.

Regarding the personal and family impact, everything’s allright there ! Our contacts with other villagers are excellent and we can enjoy this quality of life that only country side can offer. Our mood has never been so good !

It’s a dream becoming reality, little by little.
