Let's check out a dialog.
You don't work Mondays?
days? Oh I work. I just work from home.
Wow your job so cushy!
I know we do have lots of nice things.
In America many companies are allowing their employees to stay home some of the time and work from home.
If they have a computer and a good internet connection, it's not a big problem.
So this is a very nice benefit for some people.
They get to stay home on Mondays, or maybe on a Tuesday, or if their child has some special event at school, they can stay home and work on that day, go to the event, come back home, and work at night.
that's cushy, that's a very cushy work schedule.
So tell me is anything in your life cushy?
Is your life cushy?
Is your schedule cushy?
Is your job cushy? If nothing is cushy, which one would you prefer?
A cushy schedule or a cushy job?
Of course everybody wants a cushy life, so I am going to limit you.
Would you prefer a cushy schedule or a cushy job?
Yeah, leave me a message.

I think most people probably stop listening after the first conversation That is just my guess.
So, if you're still listening, let me know.
Say something. Say hi.
Say, yes, I'm still listening.
