So, my children were home today because of the strike.When you work from home,such events don't mean you have to pay for extra childcare but it does mean that you might not be able to do any chargeable work because you have children to look after or entertain.
However, I did have some work that I really had to get done so I picked up my laptop and tried to crack on, leaving me the rest of the day to spend with the children.
So, there I was, tapping away on my laptop, surrounded by bits of paper (I am not a tidy worker) when my son came to ask if we could go somewhere and do something. I replied no, not now, but maybe later. He looked at me scornfully and said,
"Well, if you stopped messing around on the Internet, we could do something now."
and stomped off.
So, there you have it, what I do is "messing around on the Internet."
Nice to know my kids really appreciate the work I do.
