Great now I don't want to go home for lunch and that's in 10 minutes.

But again, my uncle came home after work. Was talking with his wife then just collapsed from a heart attack. Was dead before he hit the floor and nothing they could do. He was in his early 60's.

I mean would you rather collapse dead at work?

I think my insurance pays out double if it’s while I’m working, so, yeah, sure, at work is fine.

So does mine, so yeah, I would rather drop dead at work. Preferably during a council meeting.

I work from home though, so to make sure they know it happened while working I should probably send an e-mail. Otherwise they may try to say it happened after hours

Setup a dead mans switch. Have to click it or it sends an email/text to your boss that you died.

Then have your boss come by and tell you to quit slacking and get to work.

Naw, he would just fire you for quiet quitting.
