It seems like most people are in agreement on the idea of calling your spouse at work...some people do it more often that others, and some do it only for a specific reason...but everyone agrees that it should be kept private.
So why...I ask...is there someone in every office who doesn't get that? I never call The Boy during the day, and he never calls me...we do email and text occasionally, but mostly we just go about our business until we get home. I don't even have his work number, I don't think... I would say the only reason we ever talk during the day is if day care called because one of the girls is sick and one of us has to go get them. I think that happened twice...
But a lot of people do call just to check in at least once a day. Which is totally understandable and completely reasonable. But having snippy, loud conversations in the middle of an office? Who on earth thinks that is acceptable behavior? Go outside, go to a conference room, close your door...whatever...but how any adult could think it appropriate to have anything more than a completely cursory "Hello" with their spouse in a place that other people can hear is totally beyond me.
And don't even get me started on your parents calling you at work...that has all kinds of potential for weird...
And tomorrow, Michelle Bachmann!

Yes! I so agree. I rarely call The Mister while he's at work and if I do, it's on his cell and it's because I need to speak with him immediately. I don't get the calling to check in. Not one bit.
I can't wait to hear what you have to say about Michelle. I personally can't stand the woman and I really can't stand that she is from my state :) But I am interested none-the-less! :)
