These options are more readily bestowed higher up the food chain here, but it's not unknown at my level. The nature of the work I notionally perform makes work-from home, even if only for a day or two a week, slightly impractical. Of considerably graver concern, given my increasingly precarious status here, is the political unfeasibility of work-from-home. As long as I'm part of the landscape, it appears to be taken for granted by my masters, who are not liberally bestowed with powers of imagination, that I belong here. If I became an intermittent presence, it might start processes running in their tiny minds...

cordially,
