100k a year you take home 5.5k a month and spend 2k on childcare or like 35%. Cheap as fuck.

I guess I would just never see $2000 as cheap as a monthly payment, no matter what I was making. I don't even know how much childcare is in Boston, that's just for where I live.

So I'm sitting here working from home due to a snowstorm and I just can't get any work done. Like I've responded to 3 emails and that's it - and it's now almost noon.

Is anyone else like this? I actually hate working from home because I swear I Can't physically do it.

I know I'm lazy in general (show up to office, spend an hour browsing forums, review some code, lunch, code hard, leave), but I just can't do anything from home.

I have never worked from home but I know I would have the same problem. Whenever someone tells me that they work from home I think "How don't you just spend all day surfing the web, watching TV, and masturbating?".

I worked from home for a week in January. Before that I didn't think I could ever do it. Now I think I could, I just need a dedicated space for it.

My next house will have a detached shed with Power/HVAC/Internet for working from home. Coworker has enough land for this and it looks pretty excellent.

He means "cheap" as in the oppurtinuty cost involed in making the extra $100k, Not that it was sweet deal @ ONLY $2000 a month !

It aint no thingg to pay an extra $2k if someone is giving you 5 or 6k to do it.

There was a guy locally who went bankrupt while building his house. The agent trying to sell it told me it had 90k square feet in it. I saw it from a distance. 4 story and looked like a football field long. I saw it before I heard what it was. I thought it was some off campus building the college was building.


That's 2 acres of square feet. She wasn't having much luck selling it. Yeah let me buy a 3/4 finished 2 acre square foot house. I wouldn't even want to pay to heat and cool it.

I've worked on a few mansions and I don't think there is any way I could stomach owning one. At that point I feel like I'd want something old-school euro, because stick-framed mansions just seem fucking odd.

List of largest houses in the United States - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

So, which one is it? 90k square feet would put it in the top 6-7 biggest houses in the united states. Very interesting.

It was outside of Atens, TX and last I looked/heard they had semi demolished it because they didn't have their permits in a row for the 4th floor or whatever. It's been 10 years and last I looked about a year ago it was never finished and inhabitated. It had the stylings of being a "dorm" more than a house. Dunno. I asked if it was going to be a religious compound deal and the agent got annoyed that I asked that.

Friend worked as a wildife manager on the place next door and it belonged to Cuban. They also raised some odd cattle I had never heard of.

Kind of suprised me how many people I talked to in the Athens area that drove into Dallas everyday. Sounded like a nightmare.

On a different note I've never worked anywhere where the scheduling department had this much pull. Talked to a guy today from the Bay area who had a deal in New Orleans starting Wed. His company made hotel reservations and he wanted to come a day early for him and his wife to look around. His comany got a hotel reservation in the quarter on MARDI GRAS. He didn't know it was Mard Gras till afterwards, now he's all freaked out. He wanted to know what would be open to go look at. LOL.

I've never had people make reservations that could pull those kind of strings.

The one in Athens was just slab sided with windows. Only saw it from the road. Like I said looked like an dorm dumped during construction, real estate agent said it was a house. I thought it was going to be a religious compound lol.

I'd like to know what the electric bill is just to cool it.
