Happy Friday the 13th. Are you overly superstitious? Do you have a irrational fear of Friday the 13th (also called paraskevidekatriaphobe)? Have you broken a mirror today? Has a black cat crossed your path? I’m not particularly superstitious, but if anything bad happens today I can blame it on the date. After all today is also “Blame Someone else day.” I hope you fathers who work from home are having some luck today. After all today is Work @ Home Father’s Day.
Work @ Home Father’s Day was created by Jeff Zbar, a married work-at-home consultant, copywriter, columnist and married father of three. Jeff is also host of the Chief Home Officer (chiefhomeofficer.com).
Work @ Home Father’s Day celebrates those fathers who have elected to work or remain at home. Happy Work @ Home Father’s Day to my husband and all the other fathers who choose to work at home.
Jeff is hosting a Work-at-Home Father’s Day Essay Contest. Write an essay of up to 250 words on “Why I Work at Home: A Dad’s View” and submit it to Jeff no later than later than 5 p.m. (Eastern time) on Sunday, June 15, 2008. See “Hey Home Office Dad! Enter the Work-at-Home Father’s Day Essay Contest” for complete guidlines.

Well living in the Los Angeles area, one big reason for desperately begging to work at home would be the savings on the cost of commuting to and from the office 5 days a week. Course when this old dude worked, the traffic wasn’t near as heavy as now, and the cost of gas was more like 75 cents a gallon.—–(also know as “the good old bad old days”

I am not superstitious. I woke up this morning and declared (to myself) that this would be my lucky day. And it was! I thought that I would need to work tomorrow, and I don’t.
Happy Father’s Day to all fathers, especially those dads working at home.
