I thought I’d post untitledhusband’s work-from-home schedule, much to his dismay. He’s of the paranoid ilk, and seems to think someone from work will find out just what he’s up to on those work-from-home days. This is puzzling — even though he does a lot of “multi-tasking” when working from home, he still gets more work done there than at work.
8 a.m. Turn on computer (and loud email and IM notification chime).
8:02-10 a.m. Surf the Internets.
10-10:30 a.m. Wash a load of grundies (This sometimes takes longer, because as of late, he has been spending more time laundering the skid marks out.)
10:30-11 a.m. Fret about said skid marks.
11-11:30 a.m. Download music from iTunes.
11:30-11:45 Cut toenails, examining clippings for signs of disease and/or fungus and/or foreign debris.
11:45-Noon Cut dog’s toenails. Collect the nasty little peppercorns and toss in the trash.
Noon-2:30 p.m. Watch “Ocean’s 11″ for the 20th time.
2:30-3:30 p.m. Work out.
3:30-4:00 p.m. Shower and get dressed.
4-5 p.m. Work.
I think he’s on to something here although I am a little worried that he is cutting too many toenails in one day. Perhaps he could alternate his nails on one day and the dogs on the other? I think if he follows my advice he will see an improvement in his productivity and general wellness. Also he may want to upgrade to Oceans 12 every third viewing as to introduce an alternate creative input to his research time. I would also recommend cutting out the “Work out” hour as it can lead to sudden weight loss, improved health and subsequently lowering the family physicians yearly income. That would be especially bad if he has recently purchaced a Mercedes or a boat.
Mike is a wise, wise man. I fully support his advice.

There’s a paycheck in that?
Dude: how do I sign up?
Nice! Hey, there are a lot of people who operate similarly in the actual workplace. Except for the skid-mark removal. I hope.
I don’t know why people are so impressed with the schedule. It is the same thing as college, except substitute dog clippings with alcoholic beverages. It’s all the same.
