You want to use screen's session management features.
Let's say you're login from the console, you start screen, run a few things (including stuff in the background). Instead of exiting screen, you detach the session (CTRL-A CTRL-D).
Later on, you login again (eventually from somewhere else), you can restore the session with screen -r.
You can also "steal a session": if you didn't logout and exited screen from home, you can grab the other session's state with screen -r too.

This is very powerful.
