That and creative fields tend to have casual work hours too.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I'd be day person right now, except I'm spending my days in the house. Hermits don't count.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That seems economically improbable. Day care is not exactly cheap.

Her husband is apparently doing Quite Well.

I just heard from an out-based coworker that when she calls me, I sound filled with dread! I feel so bad, because what I actually am is relieved! I will be much perkier on the phone with her moving forward.

James McAvoy being interviewed by Craig Ferguson - from back in January and yet still adorable.

Don't forget that unemployed people count as Day People, too. Although if the day people had fistfuls of cash in their hands, they probably weren't unemployed....

Swouncing

day person

I don't know, I kinds enjoy the thought that everybody walking around outside during the middle of the day just plays hooky and each and every one of them wonders secretly what everybody else is doing outside, while this everybody-else wonders the very same thing.

Day care is not exactly cheap.

Here, there are several mothers I know who pretty much only manage to cover day care with their salaries, give or take a bit (usually when there's more than one child involved). It's crazy.

That's why we only have part time daycare, although that will change once Franny starts school (but aftercare is cheaper than daycare).

How much is daycare these days?

It varies wildly megan, from 1000+ to much less, like 600 or so.

I'm assuming that's per month, right?
