I telecommute to my job part of the time and my employer is using Microsoft Office 2003. My laptop has a copy of Office 2000 and I am having occasional compatibility and conversion problems with some files. I have used Office 2007 a few times and pretty much HATE it like everyone else. I would like to purchase a legitimate copy of Office 2003 but can’t find a way to do it. Any ideas?

I work in a small office of 6 people, one of which was someone I considered a good friend. She and I both have only been with this company 3 months, but have known each other for almost 7 years. Last month I was going to leave this company and take another job. My reasons were I wanted a position which offered some scheduling flexibility to deal with aging parent issues, and also one with a shorter commute. I put my notice in, but once I told my manager what was driving my decision the next day he told me I could telecommute once or twice a week until I can get the situation with my Mom worked out. Unfortunately, my "friend" was upset about this arrangement that was only offered to me and not to her or the other person on our team and has not been talking to me, and to make matters worse has been spreading lies or gossip about me around the office. I’ve tried to talk to her, or email her but she says she doesn’t have time for my drama, and work is work. Can this mess be fixed?

I’m trying to figure out if this job is worth it or not..

Basically, I was offered a Telecommute job which would enable me to stay home ALL WEEK and work online, then meet with my supervisor (who lives nearly 3 hours away) once a week.

I would have to drive by myself 3 hrs there and 3 hrs back ONCE A WEEK. But I’d make up to / per hour at home during the rest of the week.

Would you take it and make the LONGGG drive anyway? The money is pretty good for pretty much easy work..

Would you or not? And why!?

I am getting ready to leave my current office position because I am moving out of the area. My current employer has expressed interest in having me telecommute but neither of us know how to go about getting things set up both at the office and at my home so I can do this. Can someone please guide me in the right direction? I do front desk work for a dental office so I would need to be able to access the dental program and database on the office server (so I can set appointments, billing, etc.) as well as be able to forward phone calls to my home office. Thanks!!

I work for a university and no one commutes, except for maybe a few IT guys, but I don’t work in IT. I want to telecommute just one day a week. I don’t do student services so it’s not like I have to always be there to assist anyone. My work is pretty independent for the most part. All state employees aren’t even getting our usual 3% raise this year because the economy is so bad. Instead we’re getting a 2.5% raise but we have to do furloughs which I don’t care for too much. I don’t even care about that 2.5 or 3% raise. I would forfeit that if I could just telecommute. I know I’m a good worker and was promoted shortly after I started. Job performance will not be an issue. My concern is that this is a school environment in which 99% of the employees have to physically be at work. How can I make the case for telecommuting?

I recently had my car towed like the third time in a month. I’m thinking it is not worth fixing. It is a 1996 Dodge Neon. (That may say it all) Because of credit problems, I do not qualify for a payment in which I can afford. I’m thinking of doing without a car for a year or so and take public transportation. I have two jobs. Luckily, my day job allows me to telecommute and work from home. I have a part time job in which I am able to take public transportation. I admit that I never lived without a car before. I want advice from people that do? How is it carrying groceries on the bus/subway? What about taking my cat to the vet? Doctors appointments? etc?

I currently live and work in Dallas, Texas and enjoy no State Income Tax. I have an opportunity to return home to Cincinnati, Ohio while maintaining my job in Dallas through a Remote Work program or a Telecommute. Part of the agreement is that I will travel to Dallas frequently (probably 1 week each month). I would be living in an apartment in Ohio for the remainder of month. I will not own a home, I only rent. If I were to get an apartment in Dallas rather than staying in hotels, could I use that apartment as a "Primary Residence" and avoid Ohio Income Tax?
Thank you for the responses. The consensus is clear: this is not a good idea. I am still curious about the rationale. Addressing some of the reasons given: I have family in Ohio now, but am still a Texan, I have friends in both places, I would have possession in both places (furniture, clothing, possibly a vehicle), I call Ohio home now (I know this is not what you meant, but it is still an shaky argument). The only consistent explanation is that I spend more than 50% of my time in Ohio. Is this really the rule? What about people who spend most of their lives traveling on business? If they’re away from home most of the year, do they avoid tax? My employer would list my Texas address in their system, my paychecks would go to the Texas apartment. I would simply spend more time away from home than in it. I’m not trying to be argumentative (and I will probably check with a tax professional at some point), I would just like to know if there is a definite rule.
To sbinlb: I would be paying for a hotel anyway. If a week in a hotel would cost the same as a month of rent (which is likely), then the question is "Which is more: Cost of utilities at apartment or Savings from Income Tax".
For those who are curious: I found the answer here http://tax.ohio.gov/divisions/ohio_individual/individual/residency_status.stm In my case, the killer is "You spent no more than 182 contact periods in Ohio during the taxable year" and possibly also that I had a domicile in Ohio. Looks like this isn’t an option. Thanks for all the advice!

My husband and I are living in the U.S…My husband has an opportunity to take an international assignment in Japan for a year. We’ve decided to jump at the opportunity and we will be leaving as soon as 3 months from now.

I have just started my career less than a year ago, and I have the chance to keep my job and telecommute from Japan. I am torn about keeping my job or not working while in Japan and pursuing my artistic interests (writing, painting, photography, etc) as well as getting to really experience the culture–maybe even teaching English part time. Will working full time from home in Japan take away from that experience? I realize it is up to me how much I want to "get" from the experience of living in Japan–I just don’t know whether the stress of being in another country and working full time will be more than I’d like to handle. If you had the choice, what would you do?

Any advice would be appreciated.

I offered a prize to an online group of people that I work with for solving a puzzle, but we all telecommute. What are some creative ideas of something cheezy or cute that I can send as a prize? I used to hand out candy when I was in the office.

P.S. This question fell under a lot of categories. Hope I picked one that makes sense.

I just signed a lease in Baltimore–as I took a job in Washington. The reason in Baltimore is becuase my company offered the option to telecommute 2 days a week, leaving 3 to take mass transit. That situation has now changed–and I just singed a lease for a condo-but haven’t even moved there yet. Can I get out of it–and how do I?
