ORIGINAL: Daddysredhead I hate that last night, while I was working late, I got a text from a well-meaning friend that said, "I hope you are NOT still at work." When I read that, I was instantly pissed off. This friend often tells me that I work too much, need more down time, etc., which I wouldn't mind, but it's a recurring theme with this friend, and it makes me feel like a little kid who's being monitored. My reply: "LOL, of course I'm still at work." Friend: "You need to go home soon. You're working too much and you need to get to get some sleep." Me: "I'm doing my job, my family is taken care of, I have deadlines to meet, and I've been doing this type of work for 13 years. It's nothing new to me." Friend: "You need to make sure that you are taking care of yourself. Please get out of there as soon as you can and go home. I'm sure your dad must worry" Me: "My dad and I have a no-report-to policy in place. I don't answer to him, and he doesn't answer to me. I'll get home when I get home. Besides, my kids are with their dad this weekend, so it's not like anyone is waiting for me." Friend: "I won't be able to sleep until I know you are back home and safe." Me: "You could be waiting a while, but I appreciate your concern. Take care." When DB called me as I was leaving the office, all He said was, "Why so late?" I said, "Heavy case load." He said, "Gotcha." That was it, no drama. So... I'm still irritated at my friend, who means well, but aggravates the crap out of me at times. *sigh* Well. . . kill her! Works for me. (him, actually...) He's a pretty good friend who gets strangely overprotective or micro-managing at times, and had to be reminded the other night that I only "answer" to DB.
