In an earlier post, I reported my fervent drooling over an expensive home office makeover I saw in Working Mother magazine. (Yeah, I read that - what’s it to ya??)

It was the grand prize in a contest that requested descriptions of home offices and reasons why they’d need a makeover. For that, the big winner got a pro makeover by IKEA, that Swedish-owned furniture company taking over America and the runner-ups got some cool stuff too.

Here’s a new twist on this theme: a contest whose grand prize is getting out of your home office and setting up shop in a real live away-from-home office totally rentless for a year. It’s called the “Home Office From Hell” contest. Oh, one more thing - the winner also gets a lunch meeting with…The Donald himself.

So why the heck would independent, self-actualizing home business folks want to even enter such a contest? What would be the point to moving to an office in an office building, rent free or not, when you probably work at home because you wanted to get away from that kind of situation??

I don’t see a huge line forming for this one. Unless the kids, the pets and the friends and relatives come too.
