A Flexible Work Day

A coworker sent me this article about Best Buy's ROWE (results only work environment). 

In summary employees come and go as they please.  They can work from wherever they want and whenever they want.  They are measured on their output vs. the number of hours they spend at work.

I think it's an interesting concept, but I'm not sure I'd do well.   I personally enjoy the social factor at work.  I also don't have hobbies and such that keep me from being in the office... you can't arrange flowers while working no matter where you're working from.

more play than work

I would do horrible with this. When I was working I primarily did paperwork from home since I worked with clients in the field. Work life was interrupting way too much with family life and I felt like work was always on my mind. I did like my job.

Now if I had a job I didn't entirely enjoy I would probably do more procrastinating and probably never go into the office.
