What was my name again?

Does taking decongestants make you feel like the ass end of a three day drunk, or is that just me? Also, have you noticed how I am all into making lists lately? It saves me the trouble of having to be coherent for more than a few sentences at a time. In that spirit, here are the Top 5 Reasons Why Working From Home is Good.

- You can sleep late and still start work on time. (Although this is theoretical for me since I haven’t slept more than 30 minutes at a stretch in 3 days.

- Forget business casual. The dress code is flannel pjs.

- Your coworkers are lovely.

- Responding to IMs from your boss is virtually indistinguishable from actually working.

- TiVo.

On another and totally unrelated subject, I would like to send a big old “Fuck You” out to the spammer who hit my site yesterday. You think you’re so cute, huh? Posting hundreds of messages on my blog? Well my friend, I have a genius rock star husband and therefore also now have MT Blacklist and I can’t wait to try it out on the next fuckwad to come along. Bring it on baby, bring it on.

Damn. Don't fuck with Beth, yo. She's got TEETH.

And? She's got really pretty toes!

My cats as co-workers. Hee. I'd never get anything done. It would be all: "lets lay down in the hallway" or "gotta go out, gotta go in, out, in out..." or "I Must Catch The Bug."

I am soooooooooooooo jealous! I wanna work from home! (pouting and sticking my bottom lip out)

p.s. love the cat, love love the cute toes!

Another plus? Comfy office furniture (beds/couches are much better than swivel chairs)

Furry coworkers are the best. Um, non-human furry coworkers, that is.

And flannel pj's are the opposite of evil appropriate hosiery and suits, which they're real big on in my office.

Someday I'll have to list all my reasons why not working at all is even better! :)

Ok
1) I hope you feel better...so you can come out and play soon
2) I so envy you getting to work from home
3) you do have pretty toes.....mine are hiding right now because they have just seen your toes and are ashamed of themselves

When I was working (I recently became a SAHM), I worked from home 3 days per week. Very nice. I agree with everything you said about it. The commute was the best. ;)

Have a great weekend.
