Go to the bathroom during a conference call, forgetting that your cell phone is still on “speaker.”
When discussing your weekly metrics and milestones, get confused and start recounting the plot of the Nip/Tuck episode you’re watching.
Out of habit, read blogs with your finger poised over “Minimize"--even though no one can sneak up behind you.
Exclaim “Wow, the coffee’s great today!” and realize that it’s your own.
Do your best work without pants, and wonder if there’s a connection. (Not technically a peril unless practiced back at the office.)
Mention on a conference call “So, did everyone else just wake up from a nap too?”
Accidentally send emails to colleagues from home email account, inadvertently revealing blog site in signature file.
Allow guilt complex to actually compel you to do work.
I liked the fact that I never had to get out of my PJs when working from home. Or laying in bed watching Days of Our Lives while on the conference call.
I swear I thought that I was the only one who ended up working harder at home due to the guilt and lack of pants.
Hahahaha, I love the one about having the blog signature in the personal email. That’s why I don’t set up signatures.
That and I’m not technologically savvy enough.
What about having the Price is Right on really loudly in the background while negotiating with opposing counsel? I think I’ve done that before.
Ive been working from home for 20 years - I have about 3 billion more of these. The no pants at work might promote creativity.
Was it the Nip/Tuck where Sean and that new surgeon guy picked up the college girls and went to the bedroom and.....and then later the new guy and Christian and their dates went into the bedroom for a four-way and he grabbed Christian’s ass and......
because that would be some sort of segue from metrics and milestones to that.
The last one is really the only dangerous one.
+ dog barking/cat meowing over conference call; speakerphone has no mute.
let’s see you try the totally nekked conf. call next!
don’t forget...accidentally masturbating to spreadsheets.
Uh, I guess I’ll be the one to break the uncomfortable silence here...So working from home Greg? Cool! Um…
My husband is going to love this. Sometimes when I get home from work after 6pm, it’s clear that he’s only recently showered. The jealousy eats me up inside.
