I either work from home (telecommute) or I travel to our client sites. Both are great, one allows me the independence to make my own decisions about when my workday starts and ends (home) and the other gives me the opportunity to travel to great cities (Honolulu, Hi was my last trip). I generally spend my day in front of my laptop, writing and running SQL scripts to make sure the data has been input properly. I also get the chance to interact with the clients, training them on our system.
A great day in my shoes involves client calls that all go very well. Going very well means that we have strategic calls that allow us to continue moving along with their implementation. If any roadblocks are hit I know exactly where I need to go to get answers or advice.
