I've been putting in extra hours to try and meet a deadline at work. I don't think it's going to happen. It's not the end of the world. I thought having a laptop would really help me in times when I need to put in extra hours and it has helped. However, we can't seem to get The Kid to fall asleep any earlier than 9:30. So turning on my laptop to get some work done becomes very unattractive at such a late hour. The other option has been to get up early and I've tried that, not fun either. It's not that I expected doing work from home to be fun but I did expect it to be more convenient. Oh well it still beats staying late at work and missing time with the family.

This weekend is the Country Fair. We had a blast last year and The Kid has been looking forward to the Dragon march all year. We are going on Friday in hopes that it will be less crowded.

What a boring blog entry.
I'm just sooo tired from working.

Sounds like the CEO is up.

As someone who does probably 90% of my work from home...I can appreciate
your dilemma--there are sometimes when I KNOW I should be working but my
spouse wants to do something...or Mellow Yellow wants a walk...so I can only
imagine how much more intense that feeling of "I don't want to turn the computer on" is for someone who spends much less time at home!

I really think we our country would be better served if a full time job was
reduced in hours--I mean we could employ more people--and more employees would be happy and work harder for a company who REALLY valued family time etc.
Whaddya think? Obviously companies don't want to go for this plan (more $, more $ for insurance etc)but hey sometimes change is painful.

Oh, this reminds me: a reporter friend of mine is on a little crusade to have liberal-minded people "take back" the word "patriot". Because, of course, true patriots question the government's disintergrating our civil rights. Pass it on.
