We under-occupied salary workers just play our video games at the office... /s

  My wife gets jealous when she finds me playing Civilization during work hours (I work from home). But then she's upset when I'm on the phone with a client until 9pm and I miss dinner. Those hours pretty much balance out over the year, though.

    > But then she's upset To be fair, from her point of view your hours playing Civilization might not balance out her having dinner alone.

      She has no problem cashing my paychecks though! All joking aside, it is certainly a downside to the job I do, but she understands. "Upset" is kind of a hyperbolic word to use, she fully supports the work I do as it affords us a lot of freedoms we might not have otherwise. I can't say how often we've turned a business trip into a vacation just by switching the credit card on file with the hotel to my personal card, or left for vacation in the middle of the work day as long as I bring my phone and take my calls from the passenger seat. Not to mention she doesn't have to work full time, so she can pursue her own dreams and hobbies. Not that any of that matters to you, I just didn't want anyone thinking I was being selfish or insensitive to my wife's feelings.
