    Is the fact that I have the door shut and a book in my hand not enough evidence to suggest that I am on lunch?????????

    Most days I get "I know you are at lunch, but............"

    And they carry on, as if the words above are an apology - sometimes they get a "but you are going to interrupt me anyway" or other times they get "exactly -lunch! Please come back in 25 mins!"

    I love a good plan - it may not work.... but I love a good plan!
  • It took me 2 hours to have a half hour break yesterday!!

    It's not an apology - they just truly believe they are so important that they have permission to interrupt.

    I think I will start bringing really stinky fishy soup :) That may dissuade them from coming in... "I know you're at lunch, but... eww that stinks, I'll come back in an hour!"

    Don't do what I did the other day though

    I was eating fish 'n' chips for lunch at my desk while working when I heard
    "Where's that smell of fish coming from?"

    "It's me" :eek::eek:

    Then I realised what I'd said :o

  • Oh good grief. Hubby is in grave danger of finding himself without vital parts of his anatomy. I am so mad at him. Not only does he seem to think that working from home means he can keep working until 10pm each night but he also appears to think that I need to finish spot on 4pm so I can cook and clean and make the house nice for him. His job is, and I quote "really important and busy". And mine is...what? Chopped liver?!! Also, where the carp does it say in the marriage contract that the woman does everything, even if she is working full time in a professional role? !!!!!!. He made a cup of tea earlier and wanted a bloody ticker tape parade for it. Doesn't matter that he spilled tea everywhere in the kitchen and didn't bother to tidy it up. Oh no. I should be happy he made a cup of tea at all. Grrrrr. He now wants to me to dig his car out for him. He can't do it because "I am on a really important conference call". Well bully for you. :(:(:(

    Anyone want a barely domesticated husband? I have one going cheap!! :(
