I was scrubbing away in one of my twice-weekly cleanings of the bathroom today, wishing I was already done with it and at my drawing table working on today's page instead, but then it occurred to me: working at home for myself on A* as I am, among other roles—writer, artist, marketer, tax "expert," webmaster, etc—I'm also the cleaning crew!

Back at my old office job for The Man, working late, I was used to having the company's hired, efficient cleaning team doing their best to clean around me as I hunched at my darkened desk (there wasn't much chat: the woman who generally handled my cubicle section soon got herself a headset for her phone, and chatted away freely with her friends on that—in a language she probably assumed anyone still at work in the office would not understand—in my case, this was absolutely the case—while cleaning ; ). They were good. : o And now, it's my job, too! I wouldn't have to clean my place nearly as much if I spent my days in someone else's building.

But I like working for myself! : ) So now I won't feel so bad about having to take time out to do some cleaning during the week. ^_^
