judecorp | Do I HAVE TO go to work?

I just plain don't feel like going to work today. It's been a struggle to get up all week. I must have the post-holiday blahs or something. That's kind of silly, since I worked throughout the holidays, but I guess I /did/ have two four-day weeks in a row. (And one ended up being a three-day week due to being sick.) At the same time, though, I have (at least) a four-day week this week because I have to report to jury duty tomorrow. And if I don't get picked for a jury, I get to just go home and enjoy my day off! (Of course this means that I have to work all day Friday, when I usually try to leave by 2:00.)

Sometimes I think that if I had a job I loved, I wouldn't get that "oh please don't make me go to work" feeling after a couple of months. But I think the /real/ truth is that I really just don't want to work. Ever. I just want someone to send me checks on a regular basis while I sit at home in my pajamas.

I would totally enjoy being a stay-at-home partner and taking care of everything around the house if I knew it was financially feasible. Whenever I've been unemployed I've always had the stress of "dear gods, I don't have a job yet" but if my staying home was part of the Grand Plan, I could enjoy my freedom and control-freak-ness in peace! And then we could fill the house up with bay bays!

I suppose there is a /little/ interaction with adult coworkers that a job provides. However, since none of my coworkers are in the office more than, say, an hour a day (and never all at the same time, we're all out doing home visits) that's not terribly likely at my job. And I /do/ talk to adults as part of my work... but it's about their kids, so that sort of defeats the purpose. :)

But yeah, I see what you mean. There's definitely a little bit of a grass-is-greener thing going on... but I still really want to be a stay-at-home parent.
