I do - there's a table in his room about six feet from his bedside, and I'm right there, watching his ventilator. Not much to do while he's sleeping, unless he needs his position changed. It's a pretty sweet gig - he's super nice and a fun guy, (doesn't hurt that he's a who fan, too), and we kind of have this family feel to the days. Much better than the corporate hell-hole I was in for 11 years. Oy. Had a boss there that made everyone in our department keep track of what we did all day in 15-minute increments. Many a post in my log was "sat for 15 minutes trying to remember what I did the last 15 minutes, then wasted another 2 minutes as I filled out this log"

Do you home school? That sounds fantastic!!!! Write awesome stuff, teach, help prepare for the apocalypse AND bolster people's confidence on Teaspoon. That's a full day right there! :)
