Cricket is the Only Winner

Have I mentioned that Brett works from home?  Not just one day a week but every single day.  He works in his home office, conveniently located near the television and the bathroom.  Brett likes to keep things simple.  He likes to have everything just within reach while he is working so of course he rarely puts anything away... just in case he might need it later. 

For legal reasons related to some Australian privacy laws Brett has threatened a number of unpleasant things if I post a photo of his office, but of course I can't let you go off without a visual.  This could be his office.


It isn't, but it could be. Perhaps his office is a bit more like this.


Ok... now I am just taking things a bit too far.  It is more like the first one.  Really.

As much as I love having this black hole in the house, Brett has been placed under a version of house arrest until he can get the office sorted out.  NO GOLF until that office shines like the top of the Chrysler Building!!  He has a golf date scheduled for Wednesday.  Today is Monday.  Monday evening.

Things got off to a good start this morning.  Brett was hard at work by 11AM and continued to work hard for the next 20 minutes or so until I decided to take our daughter out for the afternoon.  After that things went right down hill.  I saw the shadow move onto the couch as I pulled out of the driveway and other than the evidence of a few snacks no fingers were lifted while I was away... except perhaps to turn up the volume on the cricket.

So the countdown is on!  Will Brett make his Wednesday golf date or will he be trapped in his office while his friends enjoy the wind and the sun?  Tune in tomorrow for the continuing saga of Brett and his office.

Hugs and kisses!  Flo
