When I'm not emailing clients or chasing down hardcopy, it's definitely quiet alone time. I use it to organize our lives or get an eyebrow wax. I think I take way better care of myself as a working mom then I did when I was on maternity leave. woodentulip on "Do you count work as alone time?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-count-work-as-alone-time#post-1608347 Fri, 02 May 2014 10:34:55 +0000 woodentulip 1608347@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Soooo, I am a SAHM, but I was a WOHM between my two kids, and I looooong for those days. Maybe not alone time, but it was a change of pace, and in my role, adult time. I miss that so much it hurts some days.

Nobody wants to pee & have a heart to heart. Boo! Work time is definitely not alone time. Alone time is coffee + music + reading on the deck.

If i don't have a lot of meetings or my boss isn't asking a lot of questions, then yes. Otherwise, it's pretty exhausting bc meetings have lots of follow up and to do's on top of regular day work.

I have a "library closed" sign on the library door and an "occupied" sign on the door to the room where I pump, and I got two attempted walk ins in a 5 minutes span just now. WTF people. Can't WAIT to be done with pumping at work. grrrrr.

I don't enjoy work, but it is nice to be able to use the bathroom by myself, eat lunch, and browse the internet when I'm not busy. heartonastring on "Do you count work as alone time?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-count-work-as-alone-time#post-1608173 Fri, 02 May 2014 10:00:29 +0000 heartonastring 1608173@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Not alone time, but kind of "me" time. My job involves one-on-one appointments for most of the day, but I'm super social so I thrive on that kind of stuff.

I can also create alone time by going to get a coffee or just going for a walk downstairs.

I mean...I guess I get my pumping time during my lunch break alone (in a cinderblock room with no windows/no cell service/sketchy wireless internet). I feel like alone time is time when you get to do whatever you want--like sit on the TV and watch a show with coffee in my hand. @MrsF: oh, I have a long commute, too...but I HATE driving and have some road anger issues...and I pump while I'm driving so I feel like I'm way more stressed after driving. Definitely doesn't qualify as "alone time" for me. I guess I associate alone time with relaxing time.

Definitely not! Instead of crying, needy babies, I deal with the adult versions during the day. Even my lunch breaks tend to be spent doing something productive, running errands, etc. mediagirl on "Do you count work as alone time?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-count-work-as-alone-time#post-1608050 Fri, 02 May 2014 09:27:15 +0000 mediagirl 1608050@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I do! Especially now, I'm updating our documents so for the most part, people leave me alone.
