Got a job offer at lunch today!

That sounds like a great gig. I wouldn't mind making $40/hour from home!
It's over rated. There are a zillion distractions, you're wife gets pissy cause she can't dominate your time and attention when you're at home and you don't have the IT infrastructure at home that you have in you office. I enjoyed working home office when I was single and could focus on my work but the women in my life bent over backwards to make it damned near impossible. I mean I could sit there and look them straight in the eye and say "Are you fucking stupid? This is our living! This is our livlihood! This is how we pay the bills our mortgage and put food on the table! Leave me alone so I can work." and it meant jack fucking shit. They'd go right on doing the soap opera drama shit. I mean imagine working to beat a deadline on a project that's going to pay you ten grand and you got two days left to get the work completed and your wife throws a fucking hissy fit cause she feels looking at carpet swatches and jabbering about poor old Aunt Bessies case of the piles is more important than making ten grand. I gave up and went back to the office where I could get some work done. Then I got the cold shoulder for two weeks cause I was an insensitive asshole and my job was more important to me than she is. Of course I've known career women who did the home office routine who had the same complaints about their husband. That if your at home you should be at their beck and call and you're an asshole if your not just because your doing something inconsequential like making a living.

Oh, christ. Say no more. You have opened my eyes.

I've worked at home a lot. I have an office in my home. Lately I have really hardly been able to, and I miss it. But as the company has grown I find that either me or my brother must be in the office at all times. I would never tolerate what you're describing and find it very hard to even picture or believe. That would last about two seconds with me before I threw all their shit right out the door.
 
My wife will be one, but on days she's not she will be opposite of motts. She's a task master and more serious by tenfold than me. Which is good, every relationship needs one adult.

I've probably said to much. It blows my mind too and I don't tolerate it either. I tried doing what Topper said but that only worked part of the time cause I was also taking a six sigma class working towads a black belt. Though I did get a measure of revenge. When she became a supervisor at work I gave her a taste of her own medicine. She didn't like it very much. I finally figured out that she just has a passion for drama and that I just needed a constuctive outlet for her. Still it blows your mind. We had been married for three years before I tried the home office routine and discovered this aspect of her personality.
