ROCHESTER, MN — Business could finally get done after a local man who works from home was finally ready to start his workday now that his wife and kids had all gone to bed for the night.
Regional Account Manager Jared Hastings said he would be able to sit down and get to work as soon as his wife, Emily, and their three children went down for the night and gave him the peace and quiet he needed to form coherent thoughts in his head.
"Ok, now that it's 11 P.M., I can get started on work," he said. "It's such a luxury to get to work from home and not have to deal with driving into the office every day, but I've found it most conducive to just wait until Emily and the kids are in bed before I try to start doing anything. It's just not realistic to try to work while the sun is still up."
Though Hastings still makes a gallant effort every morning to start work at a reasonable hour, he said settling in to work late at night remained inevitable. "Trust me, I've tried," he said. "I get up early, get my mind going, and sit down to work. Then the kids are fighting. Then my wife has to run to the grocery store. Then the little one has to be put down for a nap. Then the little one wakes up. Then it's lunchtime. By the time I realize it, it's 5 P.M. anyway. I might as well just wait until every other sane person is finishing their day before I start."
At publishing time, Hastings was making plans to vacate his home office which was cluttered with toys and his wife's Amazon boxes in favor of working next to the furnace and water heater in the basement.
As the immigration debate rages on, Democrats are now ringing alarm bells as thousands of child traffickers are out of work.
