Why am I the one that babysits servicemen?
When you work from home everyone assumes you don’t really have a job.
My husband is very quick to have me meet delivery men, sign for things, babysit contractors and run errands.
He acts like I am a stay at home wife. I work just like he does, I am just not in an office outside of my home. I have my own office space and I don’t like to disrupt my day. Anything outside of it does. My husband will frequently schedule things and tell me at the last minute. The other day I was so upset with him. He scheduled a HVAC installation in the middle of the day on Tuesday. I had to sit outside with my computer while the HVAC company went to work. Thankfully the HVAC professionals didn’t require a lot of my input. I still had to let them in the house, greet them and show them where I wanted the equipment. I needed to confirm I did want the HVAC on a cement pad and that I was okay with the amount on the bill. I also needed to be on hand in case anything went wrong. Right when I got back into my work day, they finished and needed to be paid. So again, I was supported. It wasn’t the HVAC companies fault at all. The HVAC workers actually were very pleasant and did a good job. I was just unhappy that I was the one inconvenienced during my work day. I told my husband I am not doing this again.
