Or when they go out for the day and come back and say, "Still working?" Why does "Well, that's what I do" seem lame? How can it be real work, when you don't have an office somewhere else, and a boss and have to travel there and buy your coffee in a polystyrene cup and work in air conditioning with all the germs happily circulating and put up with obnoxious people who happened to be hired into the same firm but you wouldn't voluntarily spend any more time with them than you had to....? How is it you call this work, sitting there, in front of your own computer, looking out on the garden, working at your own pace, enjoying life? Work? They just don't get it, and we shouldn't worry.
