Home Work Here I Come

So today I put forward a proposal to my company. Here is what it said: I would like to work less, be paid more for each hour I work and I'd like to do all those hours from home.

Here's what they said. You want WHAT? I explained again that I wanted more money (because I wasn't being currently compensated appropriately for the caliber of my work), I wanted to work fewer hours (so I could have the flexibility to be with my kids more) AND I wanted to do all of this remotely (home or while traveling with my husband and kids).

For days I'd imagined this moment and kept thinking that they would look at me with an expression that said that "you have SOME NERVE making these demands!"

But instead, they said OK. They thought we could work it out.

What? I was confused. No resistance? NO challenge on the money part? I was almost hoping for some push back so I could do my speech about my worth in the market, my years of loyalty, my commitment...you know, I am woman, hear me roar!

So now, starting September 1, I will be working from home...I just wish I knew what that meant exactly.
