You can at least try it and if that doesn't work, ramp up your work again.

Been freelancing for over 3 years now. Working from home is good and bad. Great in bad weather and to save money (gas/lunch). Bad when you can't seem to let go of work. Have times where I feel like I need to be working if I am at home. So then to relax I leave the house and waste money.

I tried it recently in the last month or so and found something that stopped me in my tracks. Can't remember exactly what it was, as I tried quite a few email clients in a short time.

Two of the things that usually got me to stop were:
Can't change the sort order in the inbox. I want latest at the bottom.
Can't re-order the row in the mailbox. I want the sender before the subject.

Until I find something better, I have Thunderbird, mutt, and K-9.

Wife worked for a county DA's office at one time.

Had a case of a drive-by shooting where one of the defendants claimed she was not involved with any gang/gang-like activity. Investigator for DA's office found her FB/MySpace account that had pictures of the defendant pointing/handling firearms and wearing gang colors.

People put stupid shit on social media. I am not saying that businesses shouldn't be able to check, just saying that it isn't that weird that people post shit on social media.

Look at any random asshole things that Shuttleworth has done and the clean up that Jono Bacon at the time would try to clean up.

There was a discussion on OMGUbuntu where I (and others) got attacked by multiple users because we didn't jump on the "Let's gut linux and forget anything history has taught us" bandwagon. I should have taken screenshots, but I didn't think about it at the time. We tried to have a reasonable conversation and got attacked to a level that broke the Ubuntu CoC. It was then that I realized the Ubuntu community was not the place for me.

This wasn't the first thing that bothered me about the Ubuntu community, but it is the one that broke the proverbial camel's back. That said, I have met some nice people in the Ubuntu community, but my experiences with the larger community have been bad.

I don't care for the Ubuntu community, so I will look at other options before going back to it.

It has been years, but I was so turned off by my interactions with other Ubuntu users and the Ubuntu mouthpieces that I still have a bad taste in my mouth from it.
