If you can, i really do think that you should let yourself have a bit of a rest.... you will never got it again

and your boss shouldnt have securty issues about working from home - so long as your network is set up correctly a hacker will have as much chance getting "in" as you were at work. You can dual boot your computer so you can work off a completely different operating system which would be linked to your work network only......
