I work an odd schedule that includes 10 hours on Saturday. I could work from home on Saturday, but almost always work from the office as I've got the place to myself (bad weather notwithstanding). It means driving 30 minutes each way, as well as everything else with going out to work. The peace and quiet is priceless as I've got an essentially empty 6 floor building all to myself. Security passes by once or twice during the day. Generally there are no phone calls, no meetings, no messages, no one stopping by to interrupt me. I can go on a think walk and - get this - think. If instead I work from home on Saturday, I am interrupted each time I leave my "cave" to get a coffee. Sometimes it's my daughter, sometimes my wife. The phone will invariably ring and will either be a spam call or a call for one of them. There is no opportunity for a think walk. |

Simple solution: get rid of the phone. Why do you have it anyway? I haven't had a landline phone for probably 10 years now, and I was a little late to that party. This line of yours looks like something out of the 1990s: a phone call for someone else? How quaint! Do these people not have their own phones?
