A few US senators and congressmen should be feeling a little ashamed after watching this – a great clip of Keith Olbermann in full flow.

Devastatingly funny and completely merciless.

I spend about one third of every month working from home now – and it's the best move I ever made.

I'm way more productive, I have a much better lifestyle and I save a shed load of money by not commuting and not having to buy my lunch in nearby restaurants or sandwich shops.

I was in the UK last week and visited a friend from a long time ago (she wouldn't appreciate being called an old friend!).

She also works from home and, as suggested in this article, she's set herself up a shed in the garden from which to work.

It's a fantastic set up.

True, she has a very nice and quite long garden, which many people who live in town may not have, but still…

The ability to take a break by stepping out the door and relaxing in the Summer sun for a few minutes, the perfect peace and quiet and the personalised surroundings make it a great place to work.

Really great.

I want a shed in my garden, but I'll have to get a garden first.
