You NEVER EVER contribute anything of value fuck off and go away no one likes you or wants you here. How is that for damn??? BTW thought you weren't engaging? Caught it before you deleted running fish
I'm surprised that more professionals don't bring work home. My h is an engineer (part owner of his firm) and he brings several hours of work home several times per week. It's either that or he's saying in the office until 8 or 9 every night. He'd rather bring it home so he can have time with the kids and do the work after they go to bed.
This is the first I've ever heard of people not bringing home work. Of course, I'm married to a workaholic who has a job that doesn't allow him to NOT be on all the time.

I tried to delete it before your crazy ass saw it because I figured it wasn't worth it. What fucking value does this post of yours contribute? Sorry I'm not writing monologues. And Jesus Christ with the engaging shit. I was talking about the original post I made that you bring up every single time. Soooo you can suck my dick. How's that for damn?
Once again you post nothing of value.....shocking. Just go the fuck away.

Honestly until Amy said she considers emails and phone calls bringing things home I never considered DH did. He can't bring drawings and designs home so I guess that is what I was talking about when I said work.

Okay so I am bored sitting in the walker line waiting for DS. Why are you here running fish? You don't contribute expect to say bitchy things to me. You don't offer support or encouragement. Is it just for shits and giggles?
Well I'm not talking about phone calls and emails. I'm talking about actual work.
Then no DH doesn't but like I said he can't without a secure connection and we don't have one, but he has also already been at the office a million hours this week so it would be nice if he could right now.

Why are you so mad that I was shocked by your asshole post? You obviously think you sounded like a total fucking douche or you wouldn't have edited it...
Like I said. Why are you here? Nice deflect but answer the question you offer NOTHING to this board other than being an ass.

My DH couldn't take any work home up until this year, when he became a section head on top of his other responsibilities and now has to complete a ton of performance reviews. Those he can and does bring home, but he never did before. Engineering work that requires higher-level clearances can't be done at our kitchen table.
In contrast, when I was the drama teacher at my school, I spent pretty much all of my waking hours working. I taught all day, had rehearsals after schools and on Saturdays, spent $3-5k out of my pocket to produce each show and almost never broke even on ticket sales, spent my evenings and Sundays buying costumes, building sets, doing choreography, editing music, etc. I was paid a coordinatorship stipend of $1200 per semester for the responsibility of doing those productions. Annie was the only show that didn't cost me more money than I made.
I don't know of many professional careers that would expect you to actually PAY to do the work that you're doing, but that's how it was for me. And I loved it and would do it over again in a heartbeat, but I could never put in that kind of time/money/energy now that I have a family.
I'm sorry AG, it sucks so much doing it all on your own and never getting time with your DH. It's feast or famine for us. DH will be home for dinner every night for a while and then, BAM we won't see him for weeks on end.
I have another one. I'm getting a little satisfaction out of DH trying to do everything on his own. I know he appreciates what I do, but I don't think he fully understands everything I do every day. Since I can't do anything, he's handling all the school stuff, kids' activities, groceries, cooking, cleaning... He's perfectly capable, but there are tons of little details that happen all day long. He looks a bit overwhelmed this afternoon.

How are you feeling??? Is the recovery brutal?
I really thought it would be worse. I feel very very tight. My chest and arms are sore as if I have done a bajillion push ups. I can't do anything that requires opening or closing, like pill bottles or cabinets. It's amazing how much you use your pecs for EVERYTHING. So far so good though. I was even able to shower today. Thanks for asking!

I'm sorry you're sore and in recovery mode but I am SO happy for you too hope you feel better fast!!! Try to enjoy the down time too ?

Thank you! Pain meds are good things. I'm catching up on a bunch of shows, I have the new Stephen King to read, and I can keep up here all day if I want. DH is waiting on me hand and foot. It's almost like a vacation. Right now, I'm so happy I did it, but it's a little surreal.
Wait, I don't understand why phone calls and emails aren't bringing work home? H was just on the phone with the jail talking about whether or not they can place a hold on someone. How is that not working? It's related to work, it's not exactly a phone call he would make anyway, and it's time away from our family?

DH is a banker and doesn't bring work home.
I am a media specialist in the schools and bring work home. My friends are all teachers--and many times they are there at the schools on Friday night until 9 or 10 doing school work.

I would try to join this conversation (because wow did it get crazy!), but I am off to grade 50 more book reviews and enter grades so I can do final grades tomorrow night before I have a week "off" next week. Ya know, since 6:45-4 wasn't enough today.
Oh and my dh never brings work home. He has the ability to work from home during the day if he wants or needs to, apocalypse or a repair man or something, but he needs permission. Oh and he gets a secure keychain connection too, but he doesn't need to drug test
I say calls & email are working - I guess I don't understand how they aren't - if it's related to work, it's working. DH can check his email at home but can't access his calendar or much else, if I recall. It might be that if he's on a work computer he can log into to check his "experiments," but I can't recall. Unless he's preparing for a presentation or a poster session, there's not much else he can do but check email. No lab in the basement.
Taking work homes is by my definition anything over and above walking out the door of your office at a regularly appointed or contracted hour each day and never looking back until the next work day. "Taking work home" probably isn't the best description -- I would consider it similar if someone couldn't "work from home" but was at the office for 12 hours days when really it is suppose to be more 8 hour days.

There are professions that work 8 hour days? Where can I find these?

Ditto. DH is gone by 8 and it's super rare he is home before 8:30... It's just fabulous being alone with kids sun up to sun down every day. I envy people that are like counting down until 5 so their H can take the kids...must be nice. I'm seriously jealous.

Government yo.
DH is suuuuuuuper lucky. He works 40 hrs no more, no less, no work home (occasional studying I guess).
He does work weird 8 hour shifts, but...I will take it!!

For real. It pisses me off that DH's salary is based on an 8 hour day when nobody works 8 hours. With a 24 hr operation you can't just say "4:30, time to go home." A coupe of years ago they regocnized this and gave everyone a one time bump in pay. It was nice but the. The recession hit and their raises turned to shit. Another one time bump would be awesome

Unionize, yo.
And this gets back to my entire point -- teacher's aren't special snowflakes because they workload necessitates taking working home. And my husband doesn't get to show clients movies all day while he catches up on HR reviews for his team.

Neither do good teachers. However my husband has spent days doing stupid shit. Anyone who says they have less downtime than teachers in an office job is doing it wrong.
One of the things my H brings home is HR reviews for his staff. It's one of the few things he can give low priority to during his actual work day so he can focus on other shit.
