I too enjoy my alone time, but it is broken up into periods during the day.

I am working from home in Sydney Australia, dealing with people in Brisbane - same time zone but no daylight savings, Perth 2 hours behind, Pakistan 6 hours behind, Tanzania 7 hours behind, Senegal 10 hours behind, Santiago Chile 14 hours behind and Toronto Canada 16 hours behind. I have half a dozen little clocks on my screen so i know what time it is, but you get do get used to it and it is only frustrating occassionally when you need a quick answer. Although scheduling conference calls can be a bit of a nightmare.
