Feel Like a Chat?

But working at home is different. My life is blessedly filled with people, just doing their things and being their positively marvelous selves. Yet when I'm holed up in my home office, I can be as isolated as if I were on a deserted island. On days like that, if I venture out of the parameters of my workspace, there's a certain neediness to the conversations that's harder to break away from than at the office office. What are we doing for dinner? What is that the cat just threw up? Does this hair color match my tattoo? There's not a lot of talk about fundraising going on, and extricating myself often takes a lot of finesse and the verbal equivalent of a shot of WD-40.
