I just this moment read a post somewhere asking when working parents have time to make phone calls. In a glaring example of memory failure or this cold overtaking my brain, I have no idea where I read it.
However, it struck a chord with me.
Like the mystery author said, when I’m at work it’s usually […]
It’s getting close to the April 15th deadline for Americans to file their 2007 income tax.
Side note: this is the first year we’ve filed before April, in well, forever. My youngest was born on April 15th, and, for the longest time he thought the people at H & R Block were his friends since we […]
At Friday Playdate, Susan describes the new virtual office.
Her kids are on Spring Break, yet she must soldier on with her job:
The rest of the day — the zoo and lunch and the playing — were interspersed with a constant checking of e-mail (thank you Jesus and Steve Jobs for the iPhone). In line […]
My husband has been out of the country for 10 days, and he just got home.
He had a good trip, but we’re all glad he’s back, especially our middle son, age 11.
Neither one of us travels a whole lot for work, so when one of us is gone, it upsets the routine pretty significantly, so […]
An excerpt from the July 1943 issue of Transportation Magazine. This was written for male supervisors of women in the work force during World War II:
1. Pick young married women. They usually have more of a sense of responsibility than their unmarried sisters, they’re less likely to be flirtatious, they need the work or they […]
It’s not your imagination, killer commutes to work can affect your health and wellbeing.
I don’t spend nearly as much time in the car as some people do, but, I know my whole day or evening can be affected by the trip into work. I can’t imagine driving for hours every day to go to […]
Much to the dismay of my family, every now and then, I get an idea in my head that some aspect of our home life must be lived out just as it’s portrayed in my imagination.
My latest fixation is the school night.
In my head, the kids will come home from school, grab a quick snack, […]
I was walking down the street today, and, a lady behind me was discussing Daylight Saving Time with her companion:
Lady: “So, we lost an hour, right?”
Companion: “Yeah, we did.”
Lady: “Does that mean it gets darker earlier now?”
Companion: “No, it’s Daylight Saving Time, we get more light.”
Lady: “Oh, do I have to leave work earlier?”
Companion: “…”
Lady: […]
This is going to be one of those weeks where I have a number of things I must do, all kid-related, that are going to cause me to have to leave work early, or, come in late.
I don’t like it when I have to alter my work schedule like that. While I’m lucky that I […]
