Too Many Chiefs

When you start w0rking at h0me, you hold the sincere belief that you’re w0rking for yourself, your own b0ss, etc., etc.
Reality check!

You just get more b0sses. Being at h0me is being…available.

Your “spouse” (Whatever you call them, they’re all spouses - See my article entitled Spouses), your kids, your pets, all life forms within a 100 mile radius suddenly have things they’d like you to do.

Go here, pick up this, sponsor that, lead this, fix/build this, play that.

A little different than the old workplace, huh?

“Now, Milquetoast, your next project is…”

“Wait! My turn at b0ss!! Honey, could you just rebuild the kids’ bedroom from scratch today? Thanks!!”

“Yoohoo! The school is counting on you for the festival next week. Shall I put you down for say…50 hours???”

“Dad, Dad!! I found four new clubs and two more sports to join!!!”

“Barroo! Woof! Barrroooooo!!!!” (Beagle-ese, in case you’re not fluent).

And on , and on, and…

BUT…when you w0rk at h0me, you can control your b0sses (somewhat) by letting them all know the schedule YOU need and insisting they abide by it. If you don’t, you’ll have one less b0ss…yourself.

Oh, excuse me…The cat is having litter box issues.
