Working Online or Being a Remote Provider/Worker

It's been a long and tiring day for me. I didn't get a chance to sleep because of a long length of work time for this day.
Yes, I work online and I am just staying at home while working. In short I am working and earning money at home but I still feel the pressure and stress just like what the other feel while working away from home. My boss is instructing me while he is in Mexico and I am in the Philippines. I am a remote worker of my boss. At first I thought that it is going to be easier for me to have a job at the comfort of my own home but it turned out to be wrong. Right now, I feel like it is better to work in an office where my boss is just beside me and I can ask him whenever I have a question or something that I can't understand. On my case right now, if ever I have a question to ask my boss, I'm not always getting the answer. Sometimes it will take a day before I get my answer to my question because most of the time our communication is just through email because my time is the opposite of his time since I am here in the Philippines and he is in Mexico. Our location is merely like from east cost and west cost or it is cost to cost. He and I is working together remotely and yet our location is parallel. I mean our time zone can't be the same, because it's always the morning there is night here.I just told you from the above paragraph the disadvantage of working at home. Aside from those cases, all of the things are already my advantage. If I have to go to the comfort room, it is very reachable since it is just beside me because I am only in the house. If I want to feed my hungry stomach, our refrigerator is just beside me so I can easily get food as much as I want( disadvantage here is I'm getting obese. hehe).
As a remote provider or worker, I have task to be done within the time frame that my boss gives me. From there I feel the pressure. Being a remote worker is a good and pretty much easy task, but it's more pressuring than working to an office. I have to do double time because a my employer is very strict when it comes to punctuality. I also have to do the exact thing that he told me to do or else he will not pay me.
From working online or remotely, I learned valuable things. I learned how to be more honest because it is very needed to get the attention of your employer and eventually develop a working relationship with him.
working remotely is fun especially because it gives you more time for your family and friends.
