My Job?

  • *Relevant Information: My roommate and I recently renovated the basement of our house, these renovations took roughly two months. While the renovations were underway I was doing work that was non-client dependent and as a result I was working from my home office. While working from home I saw the contractors almost everyday as I went down to check up on what they were doing, and I often asked them to move their truck so I could get lunch*
  • *End of 'Relevant Information'*
  • *Having worked a very long day on Thursday, I wanted to go to bed quite early, and I made the decision to take a 'man bath' before doing so. I walked out of the house to let my roommate know my plan (as she was on the front step) and the contractor who had been working in my basement was standing with her*
  • Luke: Hey Joany, I am absolutely exhausted so I am going to jump in the bath and then hit the hay.
  • Joan: Ok sweetie pie, have fun in the tub.
  • Contractor: Yeah, must have been a pretttty exhausting day.
  • Luke: ... ok... it was.
  • Contractor: I have been working straight from noon today, I am exhausted, I am the one that could use a bath..
  • Luke: Well, I worked a similar interval of time?
  • Contractor: Pfft, on what?!? I have worked every day this week! Long days every day.
  • Luke: Ok, I understand that... I have also done that... and am now home.... i started my day earlier than you... and I am taking a bath and going to bed.
  • Contractor: Oh, so you got a job?
  • Luke: Yeah dude, I have had a job for the past 11 months... since I finished school.
  • Contractor: How? Do you work nights somewhere?
  • Luke: No I work for *my company*... I am a consultant.
  • Contractor: HOW?!?
  • Luke: ...
  • Contractor: You didn't leave the house once the entire time I was working there.
  • Luke: Yeah, because I can do a lot of my work from home...
  • Contractor: Ok.
  • Luke: Ok
  • Joan: I got some new bubble-bath, it's on the mantel! I moved the matches from the drawer on the left to the drawer on the right if you wanted to light that scented candle you like.
  • Luke: ...
