Working from home

Working from home today as mom wasnt feeling well.

Having done this a few times (okay am lying...bit more than a few times) know that there are distinct advantages & disadvantages to the process.

Advantages are of course obvious, you dont have to take day off, you do housework plus office work and end up feeling like (wow i'm doing all that and not complaining to anyone) you feel productive, spend more time on ym updating everyone on whats happening & getting updated in return on office happenings, monsoon advantages are even more...dont get wet, dont have to do harried travel via rickshaw & train (train is actually pretty decent travel, just have worries like hope it doesnt stop midway between stations, I do not want to trudge thru sewage and garbage filled rain water) plus most importantly keep an eye on loved one without being in office & worrying anyway about their condition.

Disadvantages are there of course ....being at home means answering all phone calls (explaining to ppl calling why you are at home...so repetitive conversations about same thing) answering the door everytime it rings, signing courier receipts, having cats think you are there to spend more time with them (so they dance on lap, on laptop, sit next to laptop, get warmed by battery) in general create chaos where u dont need any....have also found myself working longer from home..dont know why (why do we always feel guilty where there is no need for any guilt, human mind is a strange thing)

Feeling low today........got a bad cold...so getting a cold is a permanent state of affairs for me since moving to new office (am definitely allergic to something there!) Many ppl have tried to make me think its my cats (hah...fat chance of that) I have them for over 6 yrs, I dont have colds for that long :D

Nose is watering so much; its making me wonder where the hell can so much liquid come from, am I getting dehydrated this way. Rhinoviruses are ones i should blame, damn things have been eluding scientists for decades now. It should be easier to cure such a common disease.

Going to drink a glass of water, now i know why they say "keep hydrated, drink lots of fluids" in advisories for a cold.
