Yesterday was great!  I basically didn’t start work in my virtual office until about 8 pm.  Yes, PM!!  One of the most compelling reasons I decided to start my business was to be available when my family needed or wanted me to be around.  Well, yesterday, I went to the Zoo with my granddaughter Alyssa and 20 kindergarteners.  I was responsible for keeping up with Alyssa and her friend Shelby, so we became “Zoo Buddies.”  This is us, Alyssa is the blonde and Sheby is the dark haired one.  And I’m the tall one!! 

 

Ms. Sieber\'s Kindergarten ClassWhile riding on the very noisy bus to the zoo, I was thinking, am I crazy??  But no, I had a blast!  Now I’m not the typical person who enjoys a trip to the zoo.  The smell, the heat, but the Knoxville Zoo was incredible.  There were so many great exhibits and animals that I really had a good time.  After a picnic lunch under a great shade tree, we saw, Zebras, Elephants, Tigers, Monkeys and the highlight of the girls day was the “Naked Mole Rats!”  That’s all they talked about.  So we finally found them and although I wasn’t very impressed, they loved them.

So fast forward to 8 pm, when I go into the office and “begin” my day at work.  I worked on a couple of projects for two separate clients and had a conference call with a client in a different time zone.  Great isn’t it?  

Where else can you work these kind of hours?   Consider utilizing the services of a virtual assistant to free your daytime hours and take a zoo trip.  You’ll be glad you did.
