My toddler had the stomach bug yesterday, so I stayed home with him today since he couldn't go to daycare.
I'm on a call with an important vendor, my manager, and my VP. since it is early morning, I sooo fortunately choose no video and mute myself. We get to the section that is related to my job, my boss jumps in and drives ... because my darling toddler came to give me a hug AND THREW UP ALL OVER.
Yeah, quickest shower I've ever taken and I spent the rest of the call doing carpet cleanup while listening.
I have another call with my immediate team later. DS is tired, so I've cuddled up with him on the couch in the vain hope he'll fall asleep before the call. Nope.
He spends the call mostly quiet, but he does grab my boob, call my brother on my phone, send a bazillion cartoon pics to everyone on Google Hangouts, and then adorably fall asleep.
Now I have Netflix playing in the background while he's doing this. Not just normal Netflix, this is Netflix that my child has somehow enabled the 'for the blind' narration track. So there is literally always someone talking describing what's on the screen. And I have no idea where the remote is. Apparently it was loud enough that the whole team could hear it and no said anything till the end
Anyone else got great stories to share?
that is some funny work from home tales you got there! When LO is sick I take the day off. My manager is always telling me I don’t have to if it’s my admin day where I would work from home anyway. However, it’s not fair to my job or kid if I am half paying attention to either one.
otherwise she ignores me.
If I hadn't already taken most of the previous week off as well, I would have skipped these two meetings, but they were both kickoff meetings for multi-quarter projects, so I didn't want to count on a summary from someone else. I'm very fortunate to have an understanding manager and unlimited PTO!
