Working from Home: A Disadvantage

There are some things you don’t think about until you work from home.

I will, again, be embarrassed today. Today the Window Cleaner will come and clean the windows on our house. Every time he comes he embarrass me twice.

The first time he will embarrass me is when he is cleaning the window behind me as I write this blog. I won’t hear him until he is there, he will make me jump and then I’ll be embarrassed .

The second time he will embarrass me will be approximately 10 minutes after the first when he knocks on the door demanding payment. I will be very embarrassed to tell him, again, that I have no money and that’s he’ll have to come back later .

I’m a man of the modern age and never have any cash. It has never been necessary for me to have cash. I have got up in a morning and gone into an office and not needed any cash. All of those years of conditioning make it a near certainty that I won’t have any money.

The things you have to deal with when you work from home .

Perhaps I’ll just have to put the days he comes into my diary and plan to be in the office on those days .

Stop, wait a minute, I remember now, let me check, I do have a £10 note in my wallet today. Perhaps I’ll only be embarrassed once today.
