Extrovert and WFH
I was reading an entry on Scott Jolly's blog about the personality types that do well WFH. I am not sure where I fall.
I love talking to people, bouncing off ideas and such. Definitely an extrovert per Myers-Briggs. But when I am in the office, I don't troll the halls and do the lunch thing. I get a lot more done at home because my only distraction is laundry. Whereas at work, it's anyone who pops their head in my office or whom I run into at the printers.
So I don't know. I considered finding a job where I could work in an office with people. But I'm not sure I would be happy with the decrease in flexibility. I guess I will continue to keep my interaction with coworkers largely on the phone. I mean I would do that anyway in the office, my team being geographically dispersed. At least at home I can work in my pajamas and have a 10 second commute.
