An Incomplete and Growing List of People I Consider Colleagues (Because I {Work from Home})

Brian, the mailman

the FedEx guy (not the UPS guy —> unfriendly; listens to Classic Rock too loudly)

My cat Hoodie

Cheryl, who also works from home and would be the first person to discover if I didn’t show up for work

Brian Lehrer, esp. that time he read my tweet on-air

Alexa, Andres, Marcela (actual colleagues)

Fifth Harmony

the staff at Stay Gold coffee and juice bar

Matthew, 12, who comes around asking for my husband to fix his bike

cicadas (July through September)

Amy (2005-2016, retired)
