There are days that this can be a problem. When she first came to work for me, I hadn't really "established" what her duties and responsibilies were to be. Just said, "You want to quit your job and come home?" I found that I'd be miles deep in code, and hated to have her walk up behind me and say, "What now?" What do you mean, "What now? You ought to know.."<g>

After I took a day or two (after about a month of almost pure hell<g>) and laid out what she was supposed to be doing, it has gone rather smooth. She handles the billing/collections/ordering of the hardware and software. She also helps with my scheduling of appointments, cause Lord knows, I'd miss them...<g>

And before we make our wives sound like golddiggers, women/wives want security. They usually don't give a hoot about the "amount" of money, but at long they feel secure, they are happy.
