Work from Home Online

While I was in St. Charles yesterday, I was chatting with one of the computer center staff members. Unlike before school starting this week, we were both a bit lonely standing there. No students arrived yesterday for my workshops, nor did any appear the day before. Nobody was in and out of the computer center at all, in deep contrast to recent days when youngins and teens were streaming in and out all day long. The computer center staff person and I were looking at the remaining August workshop schedule. One of the workshop titles caught his eye. It was "Work from Home Online." He looked at me and said, "Work from home online - Can you really DO that?" My first response was simple enough, "I do." Then I proceeded to tell him several related stories about how I had to drive to Duffield to get to broadband until I could get broadband to Rose Hill and my house. How I write grants for non-profits who are located far away at times, such as VCU in Richmond, and I work for them as a consultant using broadband. And I further explained that I'm from Abingdon, graduated high school in Pennsylvania, lived in Sweden, climbed pyramids in Mexico, laid in the sun on a Greek Island, watched the changing of the guard in London, but there's no place on Earth I'd rather be than Rose Hill, Virginia. I WANT to live here, and fiber-to-the-home lets me do that. I even relayed the story I've told many times over about how I told my Dad that with broadband available now... "Living in Lee County no longer requires a vow of poverty." Yes, I know you CAN work from home online, because I do it. I'm doing it right now as I write this blog entry! I know you don't have to be a grant writer to work from home online. The work from home online opportunities are probably even much broader than the sample opportunities I am aware of. I know it's hard to hire find a Lee County webdesigner, no certification required... Come to the workshop!!
