Frazz by Jef Mallett for February 07, 2019

Open mouth; insert foot!

Be careful what you ask for, you just might get it.

I’m sure the other children are delighted she asked that.

The only stupid question is the one never asked (slightly off topic but close).

First she soared – then she crash landed in reality. Very good

That’s the last time she will ask that question

I read this past fall that a school system was coming up with online classes for those days when school was closed due to weather. Never heard if it worked out or not.

A teachable moment. What’s the difference between "work from home and “work at home”?

LOL!

in my industry if you called in sick they tried to make you work from home. if your job description included working from home the metrics made sure you were working from home not multitasking personal tasks

In Finland schools there is no homework. To them they need to do it at school only.

I’ve worked from home going on I think 16 or 17 years now (Frazz turns 18 in April, but I can’t remember how long I worked two jobs in the beginning), and the jury is still out as to whether working from home is a net asset or a net liability. It’s a mix. The commute is awfully handy. But sometimes it’s too handy. When you work from home, after all, you’re never home from work.

Ultimately, it doesn’t matter, because I can always fall back on the adage that when you love your job, you never have to work. Which I assure you is also a crock. This job is a ton of work. But I never minded working. I just never liked working on stuff that I hated, or was bored by, or thought was pointless or ran against generally being a good person. And I don’t have to do any of that. So I’ll work as hard as I have to from wherever I get to, and it’s a pretty good deal. Even if I’m never home from work.

This one was prophetic. Only about a year later…
