I want to be a stay-at-home worker with you. I would like our office to be a separate wing of our house, with low cubicle walls and a water cooler/coffee maker/espresso machine room off to the side. You could answer the phones for me and help me plan out strategy; we would schedule meetings together through Outlook (inviting our conference room, which would respond if it was not booked). We would have wild office parties and highly competitive 2-on-2 basketball games with other firms. We would worry over the numbers together and try to figure out how to get Excel to do this and that; you would slowly understand what it is I do for a living, and see me in action. You would be able to relax a little more, because your coworker loves you dearly, and you will never get fired.
