I'm going to share this with you because, well, she said it.
Dad, what do you do when you are at work and you are done with your work?
I keep working.
No, I said when you are done with your work.
I'm never done with my work.
Pooh! That's no fun.

The problem with your work ethic

We have a bit..no, wait! A LOT of that going on around here. Daddy works constantly.
hey, did your kid crawl inside my head? I was just asking myself this the other day- what happens when I am done with this work?
how do I know when I am finished?
as always love stopping by here, you keep me thinking!
I suppose it's no fun, yet I'm glad our Daddy is never done with his work (at work -- which alas he does bring home). Otherwise we'd be in big trouble trying to keep a roof over our heads, eat, etc.
and she is right - it is no fun!
Ha. My answer is to go to the bathroom, walk around. talk to a co-worker or check email or faceebook. and if i have actually finished a task, rather than just run out of momentum, i often pause for some enjoyment of pleasure. there is always more work but tasks are finished. except for the stay at home parent, for whom half-tasks are finished. one finishes hanging clean clothes for the 10 minutes available but laundry has no beginning or end.
No, it's not any fun at all...
I think we all need to let our inner kids out and enjoy life a little more. (Hugs)Indigo
Oh yeah, I needed to hear that right now. Because when you work at home...and your job is now to make the whole world buy your book...that gets neurotic pretty quickly!
