Off To Work I Go

Well guys, I've had a good run, but it's time that this gal goes back to work (insert sad face here). Everyday since I've been home Baby Fox asks, Are you going back to work tomorrow? And everyday I would say no not yet, but one day I will. Well that day is tomorrow. I think it might be harder this time around because Baby Fox can say please don't go to work, stay here.

Yesterday I told him that today would be my last day at home with him. He said why do you have to go to work? I said, well because I have to make money, who's going to buy all of your monster trucks and toys? And want to know what his response was? I have enough monster trucks, break my heart into a million pieces why dontcha kid?

I know we're leaving him in very capable hands, who love them like her own. In fact her son and daughter-in-law are having a baby and ask our nanny, you know you have a grandkid on the way right? Stop talking about Baby Fox and Mini Fox...lol! So if I had to leave them with someone, I'm glad that it's her.

I'll keep you posted, I might have a breakdown at some point tomorrow, or perhaps tonight when Mini Fox won't sleep and I'm up at all hours counting down till when I wake up. In case you were wondering, it's 4:30am, ugh!

I'll miss these faces

10 Years!

That's right, just call me a lifer...I've been with my company for 10 years! I feel like I just started all those years ago. And to celebrate my 10 years there? My company is letting me pick a gift...now to chose between the luggage, necklace or should I go practical and get some kitchen pots and pans, or perhaps a nice pair of binoculars...I mean who really buys those for themselves anyway?

After many years of denial...I guess I'll have to face facts and consider myself a lifer.

p.s. Mr. considered me a lifer when I hit 5 years (I got steak knives, which I've never opened or used - only because we already have a set of 8 steak knives and have never had more then that over for steak dinner, I mean who has that much money to feed 12 people steak? haha, but if we ever get into the "I'm making it big" then I'll be ready!)

17 Days!

I am having I'm going on a 17 day break f-it's at work today. Yep that's right, my work shuts down for the week between Christmas and New Years and since New Years days in on a Monday and we happen to have Friday, Jan 4th off, I just have to take 2 days of vacation and I get 17 consecutive days off!

side note: I work a 9/80, meaning I work 80 hours in 9 days, so I get every other Friday off.

Tomorrow is one of our off Fridays, good thing, if the end of the world does happen, at least I'll be at home with Baby Fox.

On a totally differen work related thing. They recently moved our office, I work at this rather large campus and we have a TON of buildings. We were in this really swanky building, newest cube stuff and all, very fancy. Not even a year after we moved in, some other group with more clout came in and stole it from us! So they moved us to a building off in BFE and when people ask what building we're in, they would say, there is no building with that number. Anyway, this building is AWFUL, when I saw awful I mean we are the ONLY people on our side of the building. There are two lobbies and the stuff in-between don't connect. So literaly we're off in the west wing of this building to ourselves. The worse part, you walk in and have to walk down a 200ft hallway to even get to our offices. It's like you're walking the "green mile" every single day. And of course the bathrooms, kitchen area, fridge, everything is near the lobby, so you have to take a really long walk to wash your hands, go to the restroom, get your food.... You probably say, it can't be that bad Sarah...oh how wrong you are. This is the hallway of doom:

This picture is taken looking for our offices towards the lobby. You see that brown door at the very end? That's the kitchen area, then if you take a left, and a right, you'll be at the bathrooms and the lobby. So the door to your left is where the managers sit, the door  right across from it is locked and no one uses, and the second door on the left, is a gigantic room that has boilers and other ginormous looking equipment and they let us store our extra stuff in there. Then there are a few other door that are always locked and I've never seen anyone walk in or out of them. But mostly it's just plain white walls. And you see how it's sort of dark in the hallway? We don't even get the pleasure of all the lights being turned on, yep, only every other.

So there you go, where I work. I'm so happy to get a 17 day break from this sterile feeling walk. Although I have to admit sometimes when I walking in the hallway alone, I feel like I could be an Olympic gymnast and pull a Gabby Douglas and just go running down the hallway performing flips and cartwheels in perfect fashion.

Okay this post got way to long for something that was about work. Let's hope the world doesn't end tomorrow and we'll get another day to blog to each other.

Much love!
