Thankfully, I work in the office, so when I'm home, it's my time, when I'm at work it is (usually!) the company's time. I do have the occasional " cat" break, but I don't take cigarette breaks so I think it balances out. As to doing laundry when I have three roommates (one of which insists on doing quarter-loads of laundry so he's always using the damn dryer!) that's another deal entirely=(
