Nathalie Lodhi Working remotely - the good, the bad, and the downright lonely
My latest article is going incredibly meta and discussing my work situation – on the website I work for. I should start with the disclaimer that I have a wonderful job (and I’m not just saying that because I’m writing this on the site I help run – although that I can write this on the website shows one of the fun aspects of the job) and don’t mean to sound like a negative Nelly.
