Working at home is convenient and flexible and can be less stressful than daily commuting. It can benefit employers (who need less space), employees (who save on clothing and transportation), and entrepreneurs (who save on office expenses). However, it is not for everyone: it requires enough initiative, independence, and self-confidence to work without supervision. Some home workers feel isolated or have trouble concentrating in the presence of such distractions as television, the refrigerator, and young children. Also, employees who work at home may lose fringe benefits, such as insurance, and the protection of laws guaranteeing fair labor and working conditions.  

Sherry Lansing, chairman of Paramount Pictures, has produced such hits as Saving Private Ryan, Titanic, and Clueless. In an industry dominated by men, she is considered the most powerful person in Hollywood. When asked about her success, she told this story to Premiere magazine. “[My mother] escaped from Nazi Germany when she was 17 and came to this country, where she sold dresses and learned to speak perfect English. When my dad died of a heart attack, I saw my mother cry and mourn and then take over his real estate business. I remember one of her office managers saying, ‘You can’t do this. You don’t know anything about real estate,’ and Mother saying, ‘No, I’ll do it. Teach me. I can do it.’ ‘I’ve never forgotten that,’ said Lansing. ‘Teach me. I’ll do it.’ ”

Sometimes they tried to pass the older chickens off as young, tender birds. But smart buyers learned to reject these birds, complaining that they were “no spring chickens.” The phrase has come to mean anyone who is past his youth.           Today, a “white elephant” means an unwanted item you have lying around the house. White elephants are often the subject of gag gift exchanges. But the original “white elephant” was no gag at all. In Burma, albino elephants were considered sacred. They could not be used for work, and they had to be lavished with the best food and great attention. Eventually a “white elephant” meant something that was costly to maintain and provided few benefits.             Did you ever wonder where the phrase “to bite the bullet” came from? In the days before anesthesia, amputations and other surgeries were agonizing affairs. The surgeon could offer a patient little pain relief other than to give him an object, often a bullet, to clench between his teeth. Today “to bite the bullet” means to pay a painful price in order to get an ordeal over with.
