Yellow Mustard Blog

Reasons why I'll never be able to survive an office job after working from home for a year:

1. The concept of wearing shoes, make-up or a bra during most of the work week has become completely foreign to me. In fact, last time I tried to put on a bra, I nearly choked myself.

2. My idea of work attire consists of:
-velour track pants, fraying at seams
-tshirt, sans bra
-slippers
-glasses
-un-brushed teeth
I will wear this ensemble for four days straight, then rotate in a new shirt.

3. Ever afternoon at 2pm, I watch Sabrina the Teenage Witch while updating my status reports. I have cancelled meetings with customers and my manager, because they interfere with my Sabrina time.

4. I have developed an unhealthy addiction to webcomics, which I read and re-read about 1000 times a day. I am particularly fond of White Ninja, Penny Arcade and Normal Life.

5. Because I work by myself at home, no one can see when I'm making faces on a business teleconference, or better yet, when I'm mooning them. And yes, I have gone to the bathroom during a call. The mute button was on, you perverts!!!

6. I compulsively update my blog and check for comments every 10 minutes. Sometimes, when I'm on a roll, I'll blow entire hours of my day blogging.

7. My daily commute: about 30 seconds...45 if I trip on the way across the hall.
