Adam@Home by Rob Harrell for September 09, 2009

Good recovery, Laura.

i could never work with my ole lady…..we’d be split up in two days

Oh this should be interesting! Wonder how long he’ll last?

My hubby loves to work with tools so once in a while he’ll do a ‘handy’ job for someone and of course I get to go with him. It’s utter hell! I’m not ‘handy’ and he’s not patient. His career is Social Worker and things have been hectic lately so we haven’t been able to ‘go out and get the job done together’ lately. AHHHH, life’s been good!

Especially if she knows you think of her as the old lady. As for Adam he has to decide if his male ego can handle taking orders from his wife. If not he’d better forget the whole thing.

My lady of 12 years and I have man names for each other that we joke with and laugh about. Babe, honey, darling, ole lady, ole man, #$**@!, etc. You might not know what they mean to a particular couple.

Oh yeah, the strip! Working together as a couple that is in a relationship and being able to take criticism is very difficult.

as the manager and not the owner of the bookstore does laura have the capacity to hire adam with them being a couple. there can be many difficult feelings with other employees i know in some businesses there are laws about nepotisim

If this were my wife, being at work would be no different than being at home. They don’t call her The Little General for nothing.

My wife and I worked together every day we were married until we retired. I remember the beginning being tough, but once we figured out our roles it was great. I got to spend every day with my best friend.

@susan001, wouldn’t that be “sororism” rather than “nepotism”?

or even better, “siblingism”?

don’t mind me, I just like to play with words: “wordism”.

Better than “pork-fluenza-ism”!

I think I’ll stop now. If I can. I said I CAN!! I CAN!!

what a relief…

Different strokes for different folks. My wife and I were office mates before we married and we continue to work as a team. Of course, we don’t have a management-underling relationship to complicate things.

POSTSCRIPT: we do get in a certain amount of kissing in the office, not just on breaks.

dante, how sweet.

Brian Bassett is keeping this strip fresh. Can’t wait to see the antics.
