Cube Life Again

I soon will beginning cube life again.  I found a new and great position!  It has been a long time and a long time in coming.  I am so excited.  I do feel like I am finally being paid what I am worth.  Or at least close to it.  I cannot wait to "move" in.  I will be taking my favorite coffee cup, Mulder and Scully figurines, picture of my daughter and some of my favorite desk supplies!  I cannot wait.  Life at work again.  It will feel good!  The only thing that is a detriment now is that I need to bone up on the wardrobe.  Being out of work negats the need for nice clothing and this is a position that involves the public.  I need to be dressed to the "nines" everyday.  It will be nice to get back to that.  Most of my past positions have been of that type.  Dresses and suits every day.  I will have to get back to wearing heels.  My feet have gotten way too use to crocks or keens or being just plain barefoot.  I think I will have to wear my heels around the house just to get back into the swing of things.  Getting back up on three inch heels can be daunting!

Thought Police

Snapshots In My Time...
Of My Time.....Hauntings.

The thought police just walked in about 10 minutes ago. When then the big boss is out, he sends in his wife who walks in like she has worked everyday in the office. Last week she caused a ruckus. We had not seen her in months and boom, in she comes. Making requests and making work requests. She policed how many people take cigarette breaks, counting butts in the outside ashtray and keeping track of how many times people laugh. She thought we were laughing too much as we worked. She wants it morgue like and in a state of deadly silence. Everyone was up in arms. Especially the smokers with all that butt counting.

All suddenly has gotten quieter. The thought police are here.

Sick People...Stay HOME!

Snapshots In My Time...
Of My Time.....Hauntings.

Why is it that sick people feel compelled to come to work to drag in and try to do something. Why don't they just stay home and get well? Keep their germs to themselves and sickness to others at a minimum!!!! We have a sick girl who has the flu and has come in the last 2 days, sick as a dog. Coughing and sneezing and wanting to touch public things. Makes me ill! I find myself washing my hands over and over, just not wanting to touch anything she has touched. Do they not understand that it is far better to stay at home for 2-3 days and get over it and THEN come back to the office. Why spread that germ around to us. We will all be getting ill next.

I offered up some expired zinc tablets for her to take. She took them. It may be too late, but it might help her some.
