Advantages of working at home--What no pajamas?

Dave Downey:

Global warming often has been cited as another reason ---- besides traffic congestion and air pollution ----- for joining a car pool, taking mass transit to the office or working closer to home.

Now it is being cited as a reason for working at home.

"This is a very inexpensive tool ---- and a very easy tool ---- for reducing global warming," said Kate Lister of Carlsbad in a telephone interview last week.

Lister and husband, Tom Harnish, are big fans of telecommuting. They have done it for years. And they are trying to get many people to follow suit ---- or rather, to take off their suits.

They maintain a Web site (undress4success.com) that espouses the advantages of working at home. (No, it's not a porn site.) And they plan to publish a book on the topic in early 2009 titled: "Undress 4 Success ---- The Naked Truth About Making Money From Home."

Of course, the title is a play on the time-worn slogan, "Dress for Success." But Lister said it also reflects one of the advantages of working at home.

"This all started because we wanted to find a way to work in our underwear," she said.

Telecommuting hasn't exactly taken the nation by storm. But locally many have found a way to work in casual clothes in the comfort of their own houses.

...
Certainly working at home saves money on commuting, clothing and food. You don't even need pajamas. Finding banker gray sweat pants can be a problems some time to go with the crisp white sweat shirt.
