Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I really think you can just tell them that -- it's better to look like you COULD be working! Learning how to be in the office is part of what they should be doing as student workers. (I remember telling someone she shouldn't be calling her friends on the phone all day, but no one would know if she was emailing them....)
Sheryl, that sounds so hard.
It does sound reasonable to tell them that, Sophia. Are there any on-line education options that would be related to the work they do that could be busy work?
Sheryl, I’m so sorry.
I’m feeling lonely and very unmotivated today.
Lol on is this a "new" young person thing! That's what we did before there were computers to dick around on! If you don't have work for them, let them read their books. God knows we can all use more computer-free time. If it bothers you, make time to work out tasks they can do without your supervision, ones that are maybe lower priority they can do when they finish higher priority tasks.
Sheryl, I'm so sorry. The emergency department is not a reasonable way to have to manage your son's ongoing issues. I'm sorry it's the best resource available to you right now.
That's funny, one of the reasons I read so many more e-books than physical books is because I can have a tab open on my computer while I'm working and just tab over to it when I have a bit of time. It's just more convenient, really, though also a bit more discreet, I guess.

Yes, this. Thanks for finding words for me, lisah!
Chaos reigns! Landis the Contractor came with his power drill and his 5 year old son and got the whole wall's worth of shelving down in about 15 minutes. Then for bonus he whipped out his knife, cut our old carpet in half and helped us yank it out from under the couch and furniture and got the whole thing out to the back of his truck for a dumpster run.
We are officially at the stage where nothing is normal and we just have to plow ahead to get to the other side.

Ugh, moving is THE WORST, *but* I just keep thinking of the pictures of the new house you've posted on FB, and how all the weird state-of-limbo chaos is going to be SO worth it when everyone is finally all settled in.
