Work at home job goes awry

I had an inkling that working from home would be a tough gig. I mean, I already work from home, well IN home and that’s hard enough but now add deadlines and teleconferencing into the mix and I’m full on juggling.

Let’s take yesterday’s phone meeting for example.

I dial into the meeting and immediately Mira starts harassing me. You see, the phone is magic. The second I hold it up to my ear and appear to be talking or listening, my children gravitate towards me rapid firing questions, complaints and inane commentary.

I settle her, Tess and Levi in my bedroom with Wow Wow Wubzie and continue to be a productive meeting participant.. for about 5 seconds.

Bo and Levi simultaneously burst in to shrieking song. I scoop Bo up and walk out front, leaving a tantruming Levi to stew over his lack of Yogos.

Back on the phone: Blah blah blah productive employee at meeting
Unfolding before my eyes: Chicken break!!!

I bolt inside to lay Bo down and catch Levi under the bathroom sink merrily tossing Qtips into the air. I usher him out and run out front. At this point I’ve hit the mute button so my colleagues don’t her me panting and cussing. I start chasing chickens and as I’m grabbing at them, my cheek keeps hitting that damn mute button, ensuring that my coworkers are now privy to the frantic half peep half clucks of pissed off teenage chickens.

After chucking chickens over the fence I go around back to do a head count, managing to further embarrass myself by making, what I’m now certain was an inappropriate, assface joke. It was then I noticed Flo missing! Oh wait, she’s not missing, she’s just in the neighbors yard hanging out in a thatch of what looks like poison ivy- FUUUN!

In the end,

When WAH goes terribly wrong, now with arrows!

I was itchy, sweating, panting, disheveled and 100% sure that my LA counter parts were fretting about having a loose cannon slack jawed yokel on staff.
