Thanks for stopping by Kari – I’ll bring the virtual doughnuts to work on Monday when I stop by for tea. Virtual doughnuts are better than real ones – no calories whatsoever! See you on the boards!

Hey Yvone! I couldn’t agree with you more – about EVERYTHING!! The shoes, the pantyhose, the hair issues (I too use both a straightner and a curling iron…sigh), the daily commute, and the love of working from home but the lack of social interaction. I’m on the VA Forums too and it is such a wonderful, supportive place! I’m so glad that I found it and you…my new co-worker and friend. Your Virutal Cubicle is just down the hallway from me…come visit anytime! Lol!

Oh, and my user name over at the forums is karibean….just so you know it’s me!

Excellent post Yvone! You have really articulated the forum culture that we have “in the office” and I am so glad to be a part of it with you.

Congratulations on your first blog, I’m looking forward to more…

Thank you all for the great comments and responses! I’ll see you at the forums.

Social Libraian – feel free to stop by our site and check out our “office” if you need to rant, vent, or just shoot the breeze with other women who are also working from home.

Kylie – I do some networking events locally, but not as many as I used to. I need to start going to some more. But then I’d have to buy some pantyhose! LOL

Great first blog post, Yvone! I can’t wait to do one now. I love your image of all the VAs out there in their own little virtual cubicle. I it put an image in my head that just had to make me giggle a little (although the hastles aside, cubicle life could be kind of fun if you were grouped with the right people…**giggle**)

Great start! I was just talking with my husband this morning about what we missed about working in an office. For me, it’s accountability. I can’t be on Twitter all day, or reading blogs, or goofing off. Someone can see my screen. At home, if I spend eight hours on a patio drinking beer and eating chicken wings, nobody would notice, let alone care.

Stumbled into your virtual world via the wordpress features dashboard. I’m in a similar position; I work as a researcher, mainly from home. Although I attend weekly meetings and have an ‘office space’ at uni (well, a desk, telephone and a window), I do still miss the level of interaction I used to enjoy when I worked in a proper office.

Recently somebody set up a wiki of ‘Blogging Librarians based in the UK’ and I was listed on it, alongside some other lovely librarians, who have since become my virtual co-workers. Like you I feel part of a community of like minded and passionate souls…and I never got that feeling from working in an office!

Good luck with your blog!
