Adam@Home by Rob Harrell for July 02, 2023

He’s working it

makes me feel good about my ex job when i used to take a nap AT work and NOT at home

You can see where his priorities lie!!!

You could say Adam was living the dream, literally.

Does he EVER want to work??

Four hours is WAY too long for a nap.

I found that over the pandemic – I wasn’t working from home so much as sleeping at work.

Four hours of productivity then he woke up.

I think Robs trying to tell us something.

I napped yesterday afternoon. It felt good.

Adam, you don’t work from home — you live at your office.

I have to work from home now. I have my own office and all my own stuff and it’s still an effort to go to my office.

same for retirees, at least me, I work on stuff every day now

Can you bring back a souvenir from your guilt trip?

Adam doesn’t have a special talent, he can sleep in any position, in spite of the coffee he drinks.

I retired recently. I have to go out several times a week to get away. If I sit around the house, everywhere I look is something that has to be cleaned, moved, thrown away, cooked, fixed or fed. :)

Yes, I am complaining. It’s one of the truly great pleasures of the retired. :)

there are all sorts of tasks to keep you busy when you work from home. darts, toe nail clipping…

Adam and his osmotic solutions…

Back in the mid 1990s my dad was very ill and we moved our accounting office to family home. When he died the office moved to my house. I did need to go out about 4 times a month – gradually decreasing over the years as clients “joined my father” and finally I was down to one monthly client to go out to.

In addition husband got burned out at work about 15 years ago – He ran a special ed school/mental health counseling agency working with children (up to 21). So we ran the numbers and he quit his job and started doing mental health counseling online from our house – same office for both of us.

Throw in Covid – and we are together every day – all day, while work takes up less and less time for each of us. Since Covid the schedules we kept are gone. I used to at least get out of the house alone two days for month (more in March and early April). Now we are together almost 24/7 – this time of night is the only time we are separate – he is on his computer in our office upstairs and I am on my laptop in the kitchen (separates work and personal by using different computers and time set aside for each).

So even if I want to work – if he does not, my time is wasted by him and what he wants to do! I was called for jury duty late last year. I have always been the better & more adventurous driver of the two. Driving as far as one can go in Queens before driving into Manhattan (and taking the subway the rest of the way to Manhattan) and driving to my embroidery chapter meetings monthly at least kept my driving skills up Always said would never be one of those women who stop driving and their husband’s do all the driving. First reaction at jury duty was to ask husband if he was going to come with me (last time he came along so would not be alone in the house) he said no. I actually had to go out and practice driving before I went (never did remember how to shut off the wipers).
