“Like plowing, housework makes the ground ready for the germination of family life. The kids will not invite a teacher home if beer cans litter the living room. The family isn't likely to have breakfast together if somebody didn't remember to buy eggs, milk, or muffins. Housework maintains an orderly setting in which family life can flourish.” IfsHomeKidsTogetherRememberWorkRoomsTeacherReadySettingSettingsBeerEggsBreakfastInvitesMilkFamily LifeLiving RoomOrderlyHouseworkMuffinsPlowing Author:Letty Cottin Pogrebin

“Working from home meant we could vary snack and coffee breaks, change our desks or view, goof off, drink on the job, even spend the day in pajamas, and often meet to gossip or share ideas. On the other hand, we bossed ourselves around, set impossible goals, and demanded longer hours than office jobs usually entail. It was the ultimate "flextime," in that it depended on how flexible we felt each day, given deadlines, distractions, and workaholic crescendos.” IdeasHomeHandsJobsGivenFeltGoalHoursWorkViewsBreakImpossibleShareDrinkOfficeUltimateCoffeeEach DayGossipDistractionDesksFlexibleVaryDeadlineSnacksPajamasWorkaholicCrescendoGoofsOffice JobsCoffee Break Author:Diane Ackerman
