My wife works from home 2 or 3 days a week sometimes though I worry about her. Like now she gets really bent out of shape if a parent comes in parks in one of our assigned spots to pick up there kid from the school bus. I guess little stuff after time gets to you. Much like Jack when he worked at the Stanley.

On the same hand someone throw away a big print job in my personal cube waste basket when I was at the gym. Kind of pissed me off but it really doesn't affect me.

Basically no human was placed on this earth to do paperwork so eventually it drives you crazy.
