Beats working for a living
We certainly picked a great time to be alive.
One of us works from home full-time (telecommuting) and the other is able to do a good deal of work from home as well when on call or after-hours, so naturally, we enjoy working nude whenever possible.
This delightful arrangement began shortly in August, 2001 when one of us made the move to a home office arrangement. That was still fairly cutting-edge at the time, but with a good DSL line at home, and no staff to oversee in the business office we had been driving 10 miles to each day, it wasn’t that hard a sell for us to convince The Man that we could pull it off.
The productivity boost was immediate, as was the comfort level. Nudity during work hours quickly became the norm for the rest of that summer, and through the winter months it was discovered that wearing slippers alone can aid in keeping an otherwise nude body comfortably warm during the day, without needing to run the furnace up to 76 degrees. So we were saving money on both laundry and heating bills in the winter, air conditioning bills in the summer, and feeling more relaxed and comfortable all day, every day.
A simple habit was instituted of keeping a pair of shorts by the bannister to throw on if the UPS man or postman rang the bell, but most days were spent in peaceful nudity while hard at work (such as it is!) doing our regular job via telephone, computer and Internet. Little did any of our many colleagues know of any of this, of course!
Summer, as you can imagine, is the very most pleasant time to be a “home-bound” telecommuning nudist worker, especially for us with a beautiful swimming pool just out our back door, plenty of Western sun beaming down on the patio and pool all afternoon, and complete privacy in the whole area.
That gave us the incredible amenity of being able to take a quick “swim break” during the morning or afternoon, or relax by the pool and work on our tans while listening in on one of those seemingly endless conference calls.
Just the freedom of being able to step out of the shower in the morning, knowing that aside from a moment or two of clothedness to fetch the newspaper from the front walk first thing in the morning, we didn’t have to or need to put on a stitch of clothing all day or night. No office job could ever compare to THAT as a perk!
Six years-plus into the nude home office routine now, and it only gets better. Our frame of mind is so much better than ever before when we worked in an office, and we hardly mind sitting and staring at a computer or working through the day’s problems while we’re nude. It almost seems like we should be giving back some of our salary in exchange for this wonderful, pleasant, natural and simple way of life.
Envy!
I am truly happy for you to be able to do this and I wish I could pull off something similar.
I’m wearing as little as possible (as little as the swedish summer allow, that is) when I’m home on parental leave for the moment.
Guess you won’t understand much of what I write in my blog if you look it up. In short it’s about self awareness and nudity and how nudity is (mis)used in media.
Keep up the good work!
Your post caught my eye. I’m in the process of “selling everything” and moving to a nudist-friendly area, and central FL does seem to be a good choice. I visited Pasco Co. last summer and toured most of the nudist resorts. Would love to hear about your transition to Fl, and I’ll be happy to share information! nudist_gardener7@yahoo.com
I just found your post and am so happy to see that there are other people who bare themselves while working at home.
I started this because my home office has a south facing wall and it heats up in the late afternoon and becomes unbearable. Once I started going bare, I had to get used to keeping a robe handy so that I could answer the door. An older neighbor caught me once as I passed by a window on the way to my kitchen, but being a flower child in the 60’s she thought it was wonderful.
I also have a conservative “top only” wardrobe that I wear when having a video conference. As you stated, if our collegues only knew
