I’ve been back at work for two days now, but I try not to think about how nearly everyone else is still on vacation. I enjoyed my time off. All four consecutive days of it. Now it’s time to pull up my big girl panties and get back to work. Except that most of the [...]
Oh by gosh, by golly, It’s time for mistletoe and holly, Fancy ties and Grandma’s pies And folks stealing a kiss or two, As they whisper Merry Christmas to you. Wishing you the happiest of holidays! (p.s.: Silly wanted me to mention that she’s been especially good this year and has only knocked the tree [...]
Nothing. I hear absolutely nothing because I have yet to find my stash of holiday CDs. There’s a random Harry Connick, Jr. CD in my car and a new one from the Boston Pops concert, but that’s it. Everything else is AWOL. The collection isn’t in the entertainment center or bookcases. Nor is it in [...]
We had Saturday brunch at Steve’s new house, which gave him his first opportunity to entertain. He has furniture now, including a sofa and dining room chairs, so it was much more comfortable than my last visit. He has offered to host for Christmas too, so we’ll be staying really local next week. The limo [...]
The holiday panic is over. My gifts have either been ordered, mailed, or wrapped. Now I just have to decide whether I should order the winter boots I want before or after Christmas. [look Ma: grown-up boots!] Do I risk another snowstorm or break the “no buying stuff for yourself before Christmas” rule?
Just woke up to about 8″ of fresh snow. And it doesn’t show signs of stopping.
I was dismissed from work around 1:30 today due to the snowstorm, but didn’t leave until after 8. By 2pm, the drive for the office park was backed up all the way to my building at the end and well into each of the parking lots. Several people who left right away called to let [...]
My package from Eddie Bauer came yesterday and I can’t say enough good things about them. Aside from their stubborn refusal to offer women’s outwear in an XXL tall, they are doing so many things right. I ordered two shirts and a sweater for Jon and a shirt for myself. I’m ecstatic about the length [...]
Now that I’m in a different position, I don’t have to cover the 11-7 shift. Instead of coming in at 10:30, I’m coming in at 9 or 9:30. Still, I find it hard to get out of the habit of leaving at 7. Even when I try to leave before 6, it just doesn’t feel [...]
I haven’t posted a lot about work lately, and for good reason. I accepted a new position a couple months ago and have finally started doing it. Unfortunately, the position has changed significantly since I signed on, involving less support and more sales. Staffing levels have also changed, and not for the better. While I [...]
