Today I worked from home for the first time since 2020. For the record, I’m one of those few oddball people who’d rather go into the office than work remotely. I like being around people, and the office environment helps keep my ADD brain reined in and focused.

But this time I had help from my furry little supervisor. She inspected the company laptop by rubbing her little face against it multiple times to make sure it passed muster and to leave her scent on it. Then she settled into her watchful loaf mode where she remained until she got bored and went off to take a nap.

Having her nearby was a comfort. Thankfully, she didn’t try to walk all over the keyboard or plant herself in front of the laptop. She wanted to make sure everything was A-okay for her human. When she was satisfied, she left for the day. I really wish I had her work hours.

One of these days, I’ll figure out a way to send her off on the commute to work so I can stay home and nap all day with intermittent snacking and the occasional zoomies.
