When The Office Is At Home: 30 Funny Remote Jobs

Few have a separate study room. We have to get out as necessary.

At first, you dream of working from home, imagining glamorous pictures: you are lying in your pajamas, surrounded by pillows on your favorite couch, next to delicious tea, a cat purrs or a dog rubs right there. Grace. But in fact, it is quickly discovered that in this situation tea is spilled into bed every now and then, it is inconvenient to hold a laptop, there is nowhere to attach a mouse, the back falls off, and the pets still strive to get into the workflow. You have to get out of a cozy nest and equip yourself a normal home office.

And how to work in such an environment?

Or they even use the hinged door of a home bar instead of a table. “You never know what sanitizer I need,” they say calmly. However, we in no way recommend such a way of life.

Some take the opportunity to show off their supplies of toilet paper, others to sparkle with literary taste, and still others to show off their favorite pets. And to make you miss the office a little less, we have collected for you photos of the funniest jobs at home – scroll through the gallery!
