Friday Night Leftovers: Back to Work Edition

• This week I am so thankful to Danifred for hosting FNL, more than usual!
• Back to work week 1 has been EXHAUSTING. Pile a few after work meetings (you know, for my other-other job!), finishing up teaching this term and getting a cold on top of it and I AM SPENT.
• It has also been a little boring. To be expected with the whole learning curve and all that – but honestly, I don’t do bored well. (I know, you are SHOCKED to hear that)
• It hasn’t been as hard as I imagined leaving G every day, but she has only been awake one day when I had to leave.
• That sucked – she kept saying “NO! Put your jammies back on, Mommy!” It was very adorable and very heartbreaking.
• When I called home at lunch the other day she was very excited to tell me she bought me flowers – that was also very adorable.
• I think it will be harder as we continue on – I so miss the everyday stuff.
• Getting up early isn’t an issue, getting home at 6 though? That is hard for me.
• BUT! New job has lots of benefits, like a constant flow of coffee, a comfy chair, 2 computer monitors just for me and all the office supplies a girl could ask for.
• The people are nice too.
• In the employee handbook is a section about blogging and how you shouldn’t identify who you work for BUT we don’t want to hinder your personal creativity.
• Also, I need to go shopping! My last job I could wear scrubs to work – I needs some more work clothes. And shoes. Duh.
• Praying that we all fall into a new routine soon, I don’t over extend myself and that the stress slowly starts to go away.
