Get A Life

July 11, 2008 | General

You get a totally different perspective on time when you work at home in your own home based business. Last night my wife said to me, "Thank goodness its Friday tomorrow", obviously meaning that it was getting near to the weekend. But only hours earlier I had honestly been thinking, "Oh no, its Friday tomorrow, I wish it was only Tuesday or Wednesday as I have so many things that I want to get done". Now I hasten to add that she doesn't always think this way, it's just that she hasn't been feeling well this week - but I've met a lot of people in my life that do. Where I used to work, one of the members of staff used to have to come and get her keys from one of the managers before starting work. If it was me that she found first I would ask her how she was that day, as I would out of habit and common courtesy to anyone that I spoke to during the day. Almost without fail she would reply "I'll be much better at home time" or words to that effect and I used to think "Good God woman you've only just started your shift and you're wishing the day away". It used to really get to me sometimes. With some people you can tell that it is just a phrase that they have learnt and repeat as an almost unconscious response, but with her I wasn't so sure. There are two sides to this that I see.
