I have to admit some envy when I read this… I’d love to be in Hawaii right now!
From the Star Bulletin
With laptops, cell phones and blackberries in hand, an increasing number of employees are working outside of the office rather than in it, and some have given up the bricks-and-mortar office altogether.
Among them are: A photographer, a foreign exchange stock trader, and a marketing and public relations professional, all of whom work for themselves.
Between 2004 and 2006, the number of employers allowing people to telecommute at least once per month grew 63 percent, according to the nonprofit association of human resource professionals, World at Work in Scottsdale, Ariz. The term “telecommuting” is actually outdated, according to some work experts, as is the concept of the “homeworker,” which has been replaced with “Web worker” or “mobile worker,” even “agile worker” as Techworld coined it.
