Meet My Co-Workers. . .

How I Came to be a Home-Office Worker
While working from home is new to many people these days, it has been a way of life for me since 2012. My “co-workers” have kept me company through hours of frustrating work and helped temper the rough times.
And, they’ve interrupted a fair amount too!
Initially, my “work” from home was mostly me researching to learn why I had become so freakin’ sensitive to most perfumes and other synthetic chemicals — eventually landing me on disability.

As the oldest, he was a mellow Managing Supervisor. He supervised, trained, and mentored the younger kitties. And an excellent job he did. He was so wise.
Below him, in the middle, is Rum-Tum-Tugger (RT), and on the bottom is Jazzie.
Before the three younger kitties came to us, Teaser and Ginger (also gone now), had lived in this house with me since I bought it. They were with me before I moved-in and…
