Office Joys

Want to work from home? Be your own boss? Heaven! Or not. Welcome to your newest problem – managing your own IT. Broadband, phones, Mobile reception, printers – all the office essentials that you have taken for granted for years are now yours to provide at your own expense.

No more calls to the IT help desk when you can't get the printer working. BT digging up the street outside? Woops – your broadband just failed. But it's OK – they should have it back up and running within a couple of days. I'm sure your clients won't mind waiting until next week.

It's enough to make you wish you had a job.
