Hi Bobbie Jo,
I agree wholeheartedly.
It seems that a lot of government agencies (of all levels) demand that
the employee/contractor be at their office
and that working outside is somehow a really huge (undeserved) perq.
As you've pointed out, your availability is much greater because you
have no commute.
I've even gone as far as offering to start a Skype call at 08:00 and let
it run until 16:00 so that they can see my ugly face and make sure that
I am not goofing off.
Regards,
David

For people with the proper discipline, I have yet to see a justifiable reason
for being in the office.
This is the year 2020, not 1950.
Except for perhaps on the top of Mount Everest, high speed internet is
available just about everywhere.
I'm not stuck in traffic jams when the phone rings. The worst part of my
commute is occasionally tripping over the dog on my way to the desk.
