Rules for Working at Home
Work from home, and suddenly you think you own the place. Here are a few things you need to get straight.
Work from home, and suddenly you think you own the place. Here are a few things you need to get straight.
- If you sit at the table all day, I will come get your attention when I want petted, played with or fed.
- If you sit at the table all day, I will not be expected to distinguish between when I'm supposed to leave you alone or not. Or not will not cover periods greater than a half-hour.
- If you do this repeatedly, we will be foregoing the dinner hour "or not" completely.
- All work should be completed by 4:00. Any expectations you've set out with your mythical employer are not my problem.
- The futon is mine. During nap time I suffer your presence. All spots on the futon are mine. Yes, I took "your" spot when you got up. It was warm.
