They're convinced I'm just messing around on the computer all day till last year. And don't even get me started on working from home โ€“ they think I'm on permanent vacation! But hey, at least I used to get some quality family time, even if it involves a lot of interrupted "work"! ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿ˜‚
