[...] In this charming post by Anne Zelenka, she gives thanks for being able to work in her bathrobe. Web workers don’t need to worry about dressing up or even leaving the home. But what about us web workers who have to bother with showering, putting on pants and trudging into the cube farms? It’s ironic that most in the web field have do their work in a fixed physical location, putting in “face time” with coworkers and trying (futilely) to appear interested during lengthy meetings. It’s so, well, 20th century, that most who build and maintain web sites have to report to an office every day. I’ll give thanks when the work practices of today catch up to the reality of web work.

[...] P.S. yes, I am giving thanks for being a web worker too because I have no transatlantic commute, loads of flexibility, entertaining web colleagues, and can listen to my choice of music all day without disturbing anyone! [...]

Great article. I was just sitting reading in my bathrobe so I can relate to this… and yes, slippers are comfy whilst sitting working at my desk. An attitude of gratitude is a great way to be as it leaves you open to recieve even more. Happy Thanksgiving.

I was asked yesterday by a friend If I was ready for the Thanks Giving Day celebration. I told him, no I’m afraid I am not and I do not intend to do any celebration for it. He asked me, why so. I said, everyday is a thanks giving day for me :) Nice article.. concise and brief, chill out!
