Want to Start Telecommuting at Your Current Job?

I got fired at the last job I had because I was pregnant. Illegal for my boss to do it, I know, but I couldn't prove it. I had only been working there for 3 weeks. Since then, I have had two kids (14 1/2 months apart), moved to Texas, started a new job, and convinced my boss to let me telecommute 3 days a week.

I started working at a small real estate office this past December ('06). The 'office' is actually a residential home in a neighborhood. I have my own office with two large desks - very nice. It was very hard (emotionally) to place my two small kids (11 months and 2 years old at the time) in a day care, since I hadn't worked since becoming pregnant with my firstborn; I was always at home being a mommy. Now someone else was taking care of my babies, while I was working. However, it was nice joining the adult world again. :) I do all the accounting work for this office - except the yearly statements and taxes. It's a small office - just the 'BOSS' and the 7 of us that work for him. I deal with his money, so it's important that my job be done efficiently and in a very timely manner. (Because of the nature of the foreclosure business, if I don't do the job quickly, then my boss doesn't get reimbursed by the banks.) He's used to controlling every aspect of the business, since he built it from the ground up.
