    I can say for sure some people are pretty ignorant about how 'busy' somebody working at home is, my sister in law expected me to do something for them not taking into consideration my work & rest schedule, she just assumed i can do it cause well "i stay at home".
    I explained her "i dont STAY at home, I WORK at home night shifts", while she sleeps i work so NO, i am not available when she needs me, i have a schedule like anyone else, just working different hrs. In winter i sometimes get up when outside is getting dark(er), go figure.
    Is a lot more difficult to do my job cause everything is messed up with my biological rhythm, eating and shitting schedule (lol), sleep quality, doing chores, errands & everything else, not as easy as some might think.

    12. YOU’VE HAD THE REALIZATION THAT IT’S BEEN DAYS SINCE YOU’VE FELT THE WARM OF THE SUN
    It’s been so long since you’ve felt a ray of sunlight you no longer remember if you’re human or vampire and don’t go outdoors based solely on the fear that the sunlight may or may not turn you into a pile of ash.
    I literally laughed out loud at this one. It's so true.

    All of these.
    The one I find most bothersome is 9. EVERYONE ASSUMES YOU’RE NOT BUSY

    So annoying. Flatmates yelling my (real) name up the stairs and looks of horror when people realise that no, working at home does not mean I have time to do everyone's dishes and deep clean the bathroom three times per week! Oh well, the good outweighs the bad I'd say..

    You get this even with a traditional job if you work nights. People assume you're lazy if they see you sleeping later than their expected hour. They don't see you pulling 12 hour shifts until 6am. They only see you still sleeping in at 11am.

    The meal schedule is my life - even with my day jobs I constantly am one of those people who forgets to eat and then eats an entire pizza in ten minutes.
    Always looking for advice and input

    BAHAHAHAHAHA #7 is my life.....my neighbors, who already considered me a bit odd from the get go, now worry about me cuz they hardly see me lmfao. They just randomly see my truck not there, see my bf's car, or see my truck parked for days on end.

    We hit all 12. Just replace "Facebook" with "manning the support Skype"...some calls when we help its like "Can you chat just a little longer?", but I think its mutual - I think. For #7 we have family for that...any time they visit they have to comment "can't you just walk away for a bit?" Nope. This is usually followed up (or preceded by) the "But you aren't busy!" B.S.

    There is a such thing as a snow day though...its called "Comcast is experiencing a high volume of calls, but we estimate your internet will be restored in 12 hours."

    "Daily pay ALL the things!"

    I laughed so hard at the line about turning into the old man from Home Alone. I swear my nosy neighbours are dying to know why my car is always parked in the driveway and I only go out at night (in sweatpants)

    Time to shut the blinds and get back to work.

    All of this, (except replace Facebook with Twitter).
    I was just thinking yesterday how irritated I am when friends expect me to be available to chit chat all day long.
    I tell them all to call me after work, i.e. at 1 or 2 a.m. They get huffy and say they can't cause,..... yeah, they are asleep.
    What really bothers me is that out of the hundreds of people I know, only 1 person works.
    Pisses me off!. So I just dont answer my phone, or I will text them when I'M available.

    #4 is me in a nut shell. "We're going to go to the PAAAARK & then making dinnnnnner & then finish off the rest of mommy's home brew while watching netflix! oh yeah, it's going to be a busy night. Man the door and hold all of my calls." I can't imagine camming and not having a pet around. How else would I know if there's a stray cat or random perv in my yard?!

    ^^ It's even worse when you don't have a pet and live alone...I find myself talking to my dildos sometimes about my shopping lists, to do lists, etc.

    My old roomie had a grandkid who one day asked me "Why are you all dressed up?" because I was wearing jeans & not my normal plaid pj pants. I was literally just going to check the mail :p

    'Some of them only know you as “sweatpants person” because even your gender has become a blurred mystery.'

    This, all day. Either the sweatpants person or the PJ pants person.

    And the socializing on social networking, I can't tell you how long its been since I've gone out or had a real friend that wasn't my pet or someone online via text. Years and years, think I'm officially a hermit now.

    Number 9 is why I've not told my family that I work from home... they think I clean houses! I wouldn't even mind about them finding out that I'm a cam model! The issue would be them expecting me to babysit all the time or run about after them (especially my high maintenance sister-in-law!), so I'm keeping the 'I clean houses' lie up for as long as I can. The one about going out for the first time in days made me laugh. It takes my eyes 5 minutes to adjust every time I leave the flat because I haven't done so in days.

    I want to add "scheduling out appointments throughout the week so you have a reason to leave the house". My week consists of stuff like "monday, lash extentions, tuesday gym, wednesday, nails, thursday friday saturday, gym" so I'm not just plopping on my couch until it's time to cam. There's that point where I realize I haven't talked to another human being face to face for something other than paid services in weeks, oy.

    Real talk: I moved back in with my dad a few months ago and it wasn't because I was broke, couldn't afford to live alone, couldn't find another place, etc., etc. It's because we both work from home and we're lonely/bored as FUCK most days. So now he works the stock market in the morning while I cam in my office and then we can get high together after our 'shifts' end, have lunch, etc. Because we're super cool like that.

    Also--85% of my neighbors are still unaware I've moved back in because I never leave the house/yard at all and I took up dog training classes so I could have a proper hobby away from home 3-4 nights a week again.
