Today I almost rented an office. I know, I know. How on earth could I ever consider giving up working at home? Well, I did say, almost. But there are days when an office looks pretty darn good. Because I work from my home, there are distractions and demands placed on me that just didn't exist when I worked outside of the home. Take today, for example. I was trying to work on a programming project that required my concentration. Of course, the kids are home from school for the summer and it seemed like every 5 minutes one of them needed me for one reason or another. Can I have another snack? Watch me, Mommy!
But I'm DYING of thirst! You know what I mean. I began to wonder how it would be for my husband to have to deal with these types of demands while trying to do his job. So, I started fantasizing about his workday: He works for the local phone company and drives one of those big trucks with the bucket that lifts him up to the tops of the telephone poles. I envisioned him up there in his bucket, needing to concentrate on which wire goes where- with the kids up in there with him. What's that, Daddy?
Can ...
... I have a snack?
I have to go to the bathroom. So then, I thought about when I used to work in an office. I imagined being at my desk, interviewing someone, when in walks my daughter, Mommy, will you play a game with me? A stage whisper conversation ensues: Honey, I can't play right now. I'm in the middle of an interview. But you said you'd play a game with me, and that was like 50 HOURS AGO I'll play a game with you, but you need to wait patiently until I finish. You NEVER want to play a game with me! At this point, I'm smiling at my interviewee through gritted teeth while I give my daughter THE LOOK. What if I was a doctor? A surgeon? DON'T TOUCH THAT! Mommy, would something bad happen if I accidentally dropped my gum in there? Suddenly, my reverie is broken my 5-year-old loudly complaining, Mommy, Lauren burped and she won't say ‘excuse me'! Ah well, I'll just have to do that programming project some other time. I guess the things that are most rewarding about working at home can at times be the most annoying. It's all in the perspective. ----------------------
