Grr. I know his name is Greg. I don't know why I typed George. :(
Yeah, it's hard for people to realize that work is work, regardless of whether or not it's at home or elsewhere. I'm not gainfully employed (sigh) but my dissertation is still work--time consuming and exhausting. My mother-in-law used to call all the time during my designated writing hours despite repeated requests that she either call outside those hours or send me an email. One day I told her that if she needed to have a question asked that was time-sensitive, and DB could answer, to call him instead. And she said "I don't want to disturb him because he's at work." And I said "but I'm working." It kind of put things in perspective for her and she doesn't call during those hours now.
