Cat spent more time with me instead. Current cat does the same, but any interruptions are rare and don’t last long. I think of it as a good time to go get some tea or a break to clear my head.

If you walk away, the appeal of your desk goes away.

I wanna go out NOW. I wanna come back in. I wanna go out again. I need water! Um, do you hear me licking the bowl over here?! Someone's in the yard two houses down - woof woof! Whatcha doin', mom? Hey, mom, whatcha doin?

I know they sleep all day when I'm not here.

He asked his boss if he could be an exception and be the only guy to come into work. They told him “no”. On his trial WFH day, his elderly mom lives with him, she has 2 birds and a pup, he has a Weimariener and a pot bellied pig. His mom let the birds out to fly around, the pups were chasing the birds, and the pig was just begging for treats.
