potential crime scene
Mr FD is having a career change and throwing himself off a metaphorical cliff. I think a recession is always a good time to leave a dull secure job and launch yourself into a new uncertain role, don't you - don't answer that!
And joy of joys he has announced that he will probably be working mostly from home FOR THE NEXT 12 MONTHS!
Now, some of you might think that so much quality time with one's spouse can only be a plus... let me enlighten you, for I have been down this road before [last time it was over 2 years!] A year of someone wanting to know where you are going, telling you stuff about things that you know nothing about and have no interest in, a year of someone talking to you from across the house, a year of someone asking what you are eating everytime you eat something in the hope that you will give them some, a year of someone walking out and while talking to a client on the phone indicating that they are dying of thirst and need a cup of coffee, a year of competition for the television during the day and a year of someone talking at you when you are trying to concentrate on your own work. There is nowhere to hide,
And to make it worse for the next couple of weeks we are sharing my car. He has already swapped my mobile phone for an inferior one we had here in a cupboard because mine was more reliable in "outback" Australia. Apparently I am a very giving, sharing person, who knew!
Today is Day 2 and already I am fantasing about staking him out on the back lawn and walking all over him with a pair of those lawn aerator shoes. Bring on my return to teaching Prac I say!!!!
possible murder weapon

The manservant works a lot from home - I get so jealous of him getting to sleep in and dawdle around all day while I ride the squishy metro for nearly an hour and play nice with other people. I expect him to do household chores as the trade off........
Does he do the chores though? Mr FD maintains that the working day is to be devoted to work and not chores ... however he is a workaholic and so chore time is also devoted to work!
Already this morning I have answered the phone three times for him....going to have to be some ground rules.
someone asking what you are eating everytime you eat something in the hope that you will give them some
I hate that - whenever I sit down with a sandwich daz comes by and says - hmm, your sandwich looks good. Well yes, it is thanks, but you're not getting any of it.
Bad enough having him around on the weekend, and I almost had a panic attack last week when he told me he was having a week off - but a whole year!@!
excuse the French, but he has already nailed the Flamingo Dancer!!!!!!
He is yet to keep me in the manner to which I would like to be accustomed!
It is just not natural for both of us to be home all the time together - not the natural order of things!
Mr FD spies my sandwich and his line is
"what are we eating?" and I reply, I don't know about you but I am having a sandwich!!
