The new job is going well and I am so busy I can't see straight. I am settling into the "home" thing without too many meltdowns as everyone said I would eventually do. But rest assurred it isn't completely meltdown free yet. I am learning how to read Landscaping plans which isn't real difficult but you have to know your numbers. You know 1,2,3, etc. Somedays I'm lucky if I know my name. Husband was going to get me an ID bracelet with my name and address on it but I was afraid he would keep changing the address.
I am suppose to work 730a-430p but its mostly been 630a, 7a, 730a till we get done and done constitutes maybe 8p or 9p. Its fun....did I just write that? Fun? Holy shit maybe I do need that bracelet. Anyway, I finally got to check my e-mail and someone sent me this hilarious sign picture so I decided to stop payroll and do a post! How convienient is that? It is totally politically incorrect, which is usually my favorite.
As I'm sitting here writing this my dog the basset/lab mix (basset body,lab head & tail) is laying at my feet. Brings a nice cozy picture to your mind doesn't it? Well don't! Her stomach is upset and it is making these popping, crackling, rolling noises and she keeps jumping up running down the hall barking with me in hot pursuit so she doesn't sh1t on my rug or yak or anything else that might pop out of all the noises shes making. I open the back door and she is run/squatting as she heads towards the back of the property.
God, I love working at home.....

House working wife?
#1 comment when people find out your working from home:
"OOOO your working from home! You are SOOOOO lucky".
I want to look them in the eye and say...why because I can work in my moo-moo until 10a? Doesn't matter that the reason I'm not dressed is because the phone hasn't stop ringing long enough for me to finish peeing.
It must be nice to sit and watch TV then occasionally answer a phone, type a letter? OO let me add eating bon-bons like the housewives of Orange County.
Oh, yeah I do all that...every single day, jackass!
Unfortunately, I was one of those people that would say that very same thing. NOW I know why those people wanted to rip off my head and sh1t down my neck. Some of them even had children at home!! WHAT WAS I THINKING!!!! SHUT-UP Stupid.
Do I sound bitchy? You bet! I'm tired cranky and whiny. I haven't settled into a "routine" whatever the hell that is. I've asked people that work at home HOW!? What do I need to do or not do?
Basically what I get is "Oh, for the first few weeks your crazy THEN you settle into a "routine". I think they are getting even with me for the day I said "OOO you get to work at home". There really isn't a routine. Its some cruel joke set up by
work at homers to get even with the googly-eyed you-get-to-work-at-homers.
Well, I'm done with the jokes....WHAT IS THE ROUTINE,PLEASE?
Is it you do both house and job then fall into bed at 10p? Worrying about what you might have missed even though you have checked everything a bazillion times?
What do you worry about and don't worry about? Do you just say "F&^% it! and do your best?
In my mind the job is priority, then when things are quiet and I've completed most of my work I take little breaks and straighten house, make coffee for morning, throw in a load of laundry, etc. Is THAT the "routine"?
I know several out there work from home and I need to find a balance. REALLY! I'm too anal to just let stuff go around the house.
Husband says there is no difference "You are at work, do your work, then when you "come home" do what you think you need or don't do it. Nothings changed just the location of the office".
Is that true?
