Are you working at home with kids? Here’s something fun for a Friday afternoon.
(This is an experiment to see how it will go over here. I’m borrowing it from a Facebook group. The person who posted it there said she borrowed it from another group.)
Here’s the idea. In the comments below, post something that your kid(s) have done while you’ve been trying to work from home.
But instead of saying “my kid,” replace it with “my coworker.”
Examples:
“My coworker just spilled glitter all over my office and ran away.”
“My coworker snuck up behind me and told me he loved me. This is better than yesterday when he told me I’m the meanest mom ever.”
“My three coworkers got into a fight over Legos. One coworker then tried to stuff them down another coworker’s pants.”
Have a great weekend everyone, even if you can’t tell the difference!
If this is just too silly for you to participate in, no worries, we’ll be back to regular content next week. But I hope some people will think it’s fun.
Update: Hello Internet that found this and shared it. Why not sign up for the newsletter while you’re here?
I’ll be working late tonight because I spent the morning digging for worms with my coworker, and when we came inside she wanted me to paint her nails. (But I’m very OK with this!)
My coworkers were snoring during my afternoon call yesterday. Everyone on the call who saw them on the couch behind me thought they were "dead" because they didn't move a muscle for an entire hour. DOGS!
I have one coworker who doesn't move before noon. My other coworker and my boss (*wife) are in college and grad school, respectively. They both are attending their classes regularly on their computers and are much more productive than I am.
This was really fun by the way. I hope you don't mind I shared this same activity in my newsletter today, and I included a link to yours. So if you suddenly get a bunch of sign ups, you're welcome LOL.
My coworker turned 13 today and has a little brother(they are furry kids). My coworker taps me on the leg when I have been on the computer too long. I go out into the hallway and her brother is waiting at the bottom of the stairs. Tag team! Time for me to go outside and run with them! They are very health-oriented!
My female corworker had a zoom meeting with her team and shoved her male coworker out of the way when he wanted to say hi! She left the meeting and held a pity party instead
My coworker tried to interrupt me while I was on a conference call to tell me something about his video game. Since he's 14, you'd think he would know better. :)
My coworker did a great job on her online learning, so we celebrated with pizza and ice cream for lunch! We also made iheart cards for each other -- what a dream job! ❤️
After reading / replying / de-spamming / forwarding / etc.ing my 3 Email accounts I come back to reality to find my favorite co-worker 🐈 curled up in my lap sound asleep. Can you say "Stealthy" ? HOW does she Do That!??
Yesterday my 3 co-workers were all napping for hours in a 1 co-worker box!

I don't have coworkers so I never have to wear pants.

My co-worker interrupted a zoom work call to ask me to rate two smoothies he'd made. I picked the blueberry one.
My coworker keeps pooping and won't go to sleep.
My coworker just came upstairs and said when he's finished with his assignment he's going to make banana bread. Best day ever!
I wrote a song for my co-workers and they seem to like it. It's on the Archie Artichoke Facebook page.

My coworkers refuse to walk outside now because the worms might get them.
Today my coworkers refused to conform to dress code and wear shirts 👚.
This post made my day!

Go team!
My coworker doesn't show up until around 9:30, then takes FOREVER in the bathroom!

My coworker just came into my office to tell me they were bored and there is nothing to do.
Oh that was always dangerous for "coworkers" to do in my house, growing up!
Ha! Always one of my pet peeves too! What d’ya mean, you’re bored!!
I just told my coworker that seeing as it's noon they had better have a shower and get dressed :)
I kicked my co worker out of the office ....let's just say he ate something that did NOT agree with him.
My coworker just took a bike ride to Starbucks and didn't offer to bring anything back for me. It was MY money!
