> it was hard for a professional working there to describe to their kids what exactly they do all day

I work remotely, and my four year old daughter asked me this morning “How does you being upstairs all day give us food?” At dinner time she always asks me “What did you do at work today?”

It’s a very odd experience trying to describe (justify?) the purpose of Zoom meetings and typing on a computer all day to a little person, and the more I attempted to come up with a coherent and reasonable explanation, the less defensible it sounded to myself as I spoke out loud. Tech is quite a strange industry to be in.
