Is he even there? If not, totally storm away! Pools need to be used or, um, they don't feel loved.
Hands! Hands in new places!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm about to storm his house and work from his poolside. This is pissing me off.
If you're working from home anyway, I don't see why you wouldn't.
OK, my apartment is now not embarassingly dirty, although it is still a little messy. That can be handled in a minute. I am dripping with sweat and planning a shower.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Fuck it, you know what? I am going over and working from there. I don't know when exactly I'll have to log in and do actual work, but I can watch email from there as well as from here, and I can run my con call from inside his house.
Internet for the win, yeah?
Ugh, this still feels irresponsible. But it's his last weekend in town, and I can work from inside his house.

Dude, that's what the internet is FOR.

Our wings are not tired.
ita, it's not irresponsible in the least. Being on-call means being available if something comes up, it does not mean sitting at home staring at your computer screen on a Sunday (unless it's for fun).

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Go for it, ita. As long as the work gets done on schedule, it doesn't matter where you do it.
Just remember to be fully clothed on webcam conference calls, at least from the waist up.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
IT IS TOO HOT. And yet, I've planned a meal that requires lighting a fire this evening. (Burgers on the grill.) Am I nuts? Signs point to yes.
(I also turned on the oven, but that's out of necessity - I was suffering from a case of Too Many Peaches from this week's CSA haul and so I have turned most of them into a crisp.)

I swear to god, I have told my mother a thousand times that I was going to give her my CSA squah products, including earlier this week, and yet? I just called, and she just bought some. I'm still bringing them over, because they will just rot in my fridge.
