Ah, the luxury we desired the most not too long ago as we ran from one meeting to another under the florescent lights of the office; to be able to work from the comfort of our home. It’s a handsome idea; not having to wake up hours before work just to get dolled up and put ourselves through a miserable commute enhanced by the warm breath of a stranger blowing directly in your ear on the train. Let’s just say none of us will be missing that, except for this one New York-based style writer, who found herself longing for that sensation after being forced to work at home with her photographer boyfriend. As much as they’d like it to be, things are not “business as usual” at the moment for the couple whose work performance has been impacted tremendously by having to endure each other’s presence. “Oh, we are definitely breaking-up. That was pretty clear by the end of the 8th consecutive hour we spent together- that’s the equivalent of how much time we spend together as a couple in a month by the way,” explains our editor friend who admits their busy schedules were what brought the couple together in the first place. “We met at a shoot and hit it off. He’s always traveling for work and I’m always at work except for that short period of time I stop by the apartment to sleep. Our complimenting schedules combined with our mutual fear of dying alone because of them brought us together.” This outbreak has been financially beneficial for the couple in terms of dodging all the future divorce fees. As we wrapped up the interview we heard our friend whisper to herself, “I have no idea what the f*ck we are going to do about the joint lease we signed before Christmas.”
