There’s No TV in the Office. Dammit if I have the willpower to not turn the dang thing on. And then watch it. Not good for getting work done. Plus, working in an office makes watching “The Office” a lot funnier.
Sun isn’t in the Office. Even during naptime, I find it very difficult to focus on work with the baby in the house. And dirty dishes in the sink.
If I Meet with Clients, I Much Prefer to Do It in My Office. Without the baby.
I Need My Secretary!!! I hate paginating documents.
I Need the Social Aspect the Office Provides. I like doing lunch. Plus, where else would I get my girl scout cookies and seasonal wrapping paper if not from staffers selling for their kids? You don’t get those offers at my house.

All very good reasons indeed! Especially the girl scout cookies and lunch.

I want some girl scout cookies. I might have a job for you at your job.

thanks for the laughs!

P.S. I’ll take one box Samosas and one box Tagalongs.
