My last post in February I was working from home, by choice, something I found myself doing about once a month for general errands, dog and Aunt Ing happiness..
Then the Kung Fu Flu has flown across the country and we are ALL working at home and the dog is as content as one met can get.
I started this blog today with the thought of how truly fortunate I am - we are still both working, able to do so from home, we have all the creature comforts one could ask for, and yet - the world is on pause because China sent the flu from hell across the globe.
There have been lots of pictures of very popular places at high noon that are empty, there have been pictures from Venice Italy were dolphins are back in the canals because the people aren't there. Nature is nothing but amazingly adaptable.
I don't have a great deal of actual work to finish, but I have managed to fill days - mostly with work related actions. I have been home since mid-March, darling husband is now in week 2. We are managing - 2 floors and all day away is good. We do lunch together.
What has me worried is his job situation - he is not getting on with this big boss - a man who recruited him, along with his friend - who up and quit a while ago. So today - we have a meeting - heaven only knows what is coming out of this -- we both think it will be given his walking papers. Heaven help us - Bubba with time on his hands. I should probably start a honey-do list now and have a backlog ready to go when we are released from State wide House arrest. Found out his boss cancelled the meeting - again, and apparently for the foreseeable future - the company is in the middle of some big merger/buy out something - who listens? ANY way - I'm sure Boss 'D Bubba gets that he will have to do a great deal more work if he kicks Bubba to the curb so he's postponing the said kicking. Probably hoping that Bubba will find his own exit. We will work that this week, I told him he could passively look, be very selective in what he is looking for, when he talks to a recruiter tell him/her exactly what you are looking for. He doesn't want to be a CPA anymore. Great, super. Heaven help me.
My standard answer when all this comes to pass is - I am the bread winner - you get the do all the extras that I did for 30 plus years, here is a list of birthdays, dates, suggested gifts/ cards. Here is the grocery list, decide what you want for dinner, and your honey do list for the week. I could have a lot of fun with this - Bubba won't be happy. I may start a family over/under pool how long he lasts - I give 4 weeks, one month max. I bet everyone else will think he cracks before then... place your bets boys and girls.
All right - I do have to accomplish something today besides figuring out how to download a book to my kindle from the library. I do have another 2 weeks of swag to win, and now I'm reading two books at once, I find I can't read mystery books before I go to bed, either I am chasing or being chases, I need mindless heaving bosoms before I fall asleep - my brain is dead.
Stay well my friends and love your four legged family members.
