Man Torn Between Working From Home And Being Interrupted By Kids, Working At Office And Being Interrupted By Coworkers

IRVINE, CA — A local man found himself at a crossroads today, as he was torn between working from home and being interrupted by his kids and working at the office and being interrupted by his coworkers.

An unidentified colleague then barged in, disrupting the interview, “Hank, did you catch the game last night? Padres! Wait, you’re not Hank…”

“You know, it really doesn’t matter where I go,” he said, appearing to reach an epiphany. “I can’t get anything done either way.”

At publishing time, Ben Canton had finished his workday at Starbucks.
