There's No Place Like Home

I've probably skipped about 10 blogable conversations, but I definitely have to put this one out there.

At my work they were running a test to make sure that those of us that are set up to work from home CAN work from home. Sort of a disastery recovery check. My day was this past Tuesday and i was really looking forward to it. How cool to work in your pj's. D must have thought the same thing because she too was working from home......

{D}: Oh, you aren't going into work today?
{Cindy}: I am, but i get to work from home
{D}: Ummmm......oh.......o.....k.........
{Cindy}: Is there a problem with that?
{D}: No....not at all....it's just that i have someone coming over for a massage at 9:30AM.
{Cindy}[Action]: Looking up from loggin onto my computer
{Cindy}: What do you mean? For your Mobile massage?
{D}: Yeah, but he's a friend

Obviously i just caught her doing exactly what we had talked about before - not having clients to the house. A friend of mine told me that it usually takes 11 or 12 times of doing something before someone gets caught. Oh, great...how long has this been going on? At this point, i'm thinking web cams.

{Cindy}: I'm pretty uncomfortable with having strangers here. He's your friend and your client? How does that work?
{D}: Oh, i totally wouldn't leave them [*note the word THEM] alone in the house. I'm with them all the time.
{Cindy}: That doesn't matter, they could be staking the place out, getting the layout...or even hurt you.

Remember she's about 85 pounds soaking wet. I don't have a lot in the house, but still...it's my Mom's voice in my head that says "Stranger Danger". Gimmie a friggin break.

{D}: This guy is really cool....and he's smokin' hot...if he wasn't a client i would soooo do him.
{Cindy}: Again, i'm uncomfortable with this...do you even have a table in your room?
{D}: No, i just do it on the bed
{Cindy}: Of course

So the guy shows up...she quickly goes outside - probably to tell him that i'm there. Then they come back in and she says:

{D}: Go ahead upstairs, i'll be right there.

Ummmmm, so what happened to i'm with them all the time when they are in the house??? WTF? I decide that i'm going to talk to her about having clients but first want to talk to my boss about being able to work from home randomly to check on this. I think honestly, i'm going to tell her that i don't want her doing work from the house and if she gets caught again, i'm giving her a 30 day notice. It's rediculous! Again, i don't want to judge...but sheeeeesh, if you aren't doing anything wrong, then do it at their house...hence the verbiage "Mobile" massage.

On another note, as i was working i went ahead and cranked up the most non-relaxing music EVER in case it really was just a massage. Eminem, Dance tracks....continuous hip-hop beats! And loud too. Come tell me to turn it down....just try. LOL.

After an hour, they came out and left. Time for nanny cams i guess. UGH!
