My WAH Hubby

WAH? What the heck is WAH you're probably asking. Well it's a Work At Home hubby. Larry is test piloting their out of office system for Delta Dental right now and working from home today and tomorrow. They've had a few other folks try it, but not too successfully because they weren't the kind of techno geek that Larry is. So they're having him give it a go to see if 1) the system itself works okay - sound, technical jargon, etc. and 2) if it would be simple to implement with their staff somewhere down the road. Who knows how long that road will be but in this economy I imagine every company is looking to determine where they can cut overhead costs. What better way than moving personnel into their homes to perform their jobs and not have to heat/cool/maintain commercial space.

It was okay, especially since Joey was at day care and I pretty much spent the day in bed. Though I did get caught out on the video monitor once or twice. Thank God I had pajama bottoms on and not just a t-shirt which is my usual sleeping apparel. Plus the few times mom and I ventured out into the common areas we kinda felt like we had to tip-toe around so as not to be heard by his callers. If this were to become a more permanent work routine we'd probably have to set up an office space in our bedroom or the master closet or something.

No worries though, we'd manage somehow and it was kind of nice having Larry around on his breaks. It reminded me of when we were dating and he'd come over to our apartment for lunches. Plus we realized that if this was implemented it would cut down on our overhead costs too - gas, time, vending machine snacks (lol). Oh well no use making plans for something that hasn't happened yet. I guess only time will tell.
