The Truth About Working From Home

I get a lot of jealous looks when I meet people and tell them I work from home. They think it is all sitting around by the pool drinking umbrella drinks. And mostly it is, but it does come with certain drawbacks like:

  • I won my offices super bowl bet, $1 cash prize, although I suspect it was the same $1 it cost me to play.
  • I can burp or pass gas and no one but me laughs.
  • I inevitably end up being "that guy" at office parties.
  • Everytime the phone rings, it is for me...
  • Last night's left overs call to me from the fridge.
  • Dad can pop in at any old time.
  • No one wants to talk to me by the watercooler...
The grass is always greener.

Ian goes Punk

It, of course is my fault. You could say that about most anything. But this, this is pure genius. Yesterday, he and I were headed to get haircuts. He says, "what kind of haircut are you getting Daddy?". I give my stock answer, "mohawk". He giggles and says, "me too, we'll be twins." He is smiling ear to ear. Next comes the part where I carefully extract myself from getting said mohawk. He says, "i don't care I am getting a mohawk." I saw ok thinking Mel will never allow. She says ok.

Five minute update

Sorry, 5 is all you get today...ok at least for now. Here are the top stories from the past week: Thanksgiving. What happens when you don't see family and don't eat Turkey? Not so bad, sorry family. We had a blast watching the parade in NYC, it was a beautiful warm day. The kids and mostly Mel enjoyed the floats and balloons. We'll be back next year. You can see a slide show of the images mel took, far too many up to the right -----> Best quote at a concert, Best thing to happen to my brother in front of me, "Sir, would you buy me a beer?" -underage girl at State Radio Concert. Probably the last 18 and older show we go to. Save the security team, we were the oldest folks there... And FYI, Rob didn't buy her one, what a good guy. Then we talked about if we'll still come to these concerts if Reagan happens to go to the same one... We decided she isn't leaving the house watching some young girl crowd surf... Prickly Pear is out of the water....
