Our Dad works from home. He has a great set up. His own office off the garage. Most of his interaction with co-workers happens via email, phone or Telepresence (if he goes to the office in Salt Lake).
Here is an email conversation from this morning between the Dad and one of his colleagues:

I got a call from George (I think). He didn’t bother to introduce himself. It was a brief, but pleasant conversation. Please give him my regards.

Sorry about that.
The basement flooded this morning and while I was dealing with that, it appears that I left my office door open. I returned to find George (21 months) sitting on top of my desk pushing buttons on the phone. I appreciate you taking the time to speak to George.
I am just glad I don't have SJ on speed dial....or a home Telepresence room....

Update:
Apparently, K wasn't the only one who received a call from George. Unable to reach him directly, George went ahead and left a voice mail message for the Dad's manager, J, who saved it, and plans to play it during various conference calls, as needed.
Poor the Dad. He tries so hard to keep people at work from knowing that his family lives with him.

It is situations like this that keep me from updating the blog. Thankfully, most of the copy for that one was already written and I could just paste it in.
Even while I was doing that, however, George climbed up and onto to the counter and was running around, grabbing stuff he isn't supposed to touch.
Thank you for the giggle this morning!!! It's a good thing he is so cute!
I have loved giggling over this!
This is hilarious! One of the funniest work-at-home incidents ever!!
My father's mission companions still bring up the tape that U.P. sent Dad. Blame his genes.
