How coincidental that this thread was started today. I had workmen in my house all day installing a replacement central air system because my old system crapped out. It was kind of awkward having several male strangers traipsing around my house ... I pretty much stayed in my office as I had to work anyway.
When a service person comes to the house, I generally stay out of his/her way, but not too far away, for two reasons - I want to be available if s/he has any questions for me, and I want to be sure nothing walks away with the service person (for heaven's sake, you're letting a complete stranger into your home). It does feel awkward to be sitting down in the basement in a folding chair at a folding table with my laptop when I could be upstairs in my office at a proper desk - and I'm sure they know EXACTLY why I'm downstairs and not upstairs.
