10. I don’t have kids at home anymore.

9.No awkward office socializing in common areas.

8. Nobody steals my lunch from the break room refrigerator.

7. Stinking up the bathroom when you absolutely have to go without worry of who might come in after, or worse, during.

6. Insomnia can kiss my ass. Working 3 to 7 AM and 2 to 6 PM is perfectly acceptable.

5. No makeup.

4. No bad hair days—every day is ponytail day.

3.Night pajamas and day pajamas — or as I prefer to call the daytime ensembles, loungewear.

2. Naps.

  1. I haven’t worn a bra in three weeks.
