Re-Entry to the Work Force

Much as I expected, I was NOT ready to hear the alarm sound this morning. Ohhhh where did my 11:00 mornings go? But I loaded up my car with the work luggage (it's a three bag operation most days) and headed to the office.

Dressing for work was a gamble...well, not that I needed TO dress for work, but rather HOW to dress for work. The entire school had been shut down since Christmas Eve, so I didn't know if it would be an igloo or a sauna. I dressed for igloo. I got sauna. Oh well. You win some, you lose some.

The co-workers appreciated the chocolate kiss/peanut butter cookies I took to somehow motivate us to last until the end of the day. Pretty sure they are gone now. The cookies, not the co-workers. :)

Despite my mournful loss of late mornings, I did enjoy spending time with everyone again. I love being a hermit, but I also love interaction with others, and I had been sorely lacking in that department over break.

Since you've already figured out that this is a super random post, I'll add this additional bit of randomness. For reasons unknown to me, my phone began to act up on New Year's Day. I didn't drop it...it didn't get wet...it just randomly lost function. By today, the front screen was totally useless. I couldn't use it for any menu functions or anything. Fortunately, the phone is still operable when opened up...it just takes longer to do things that way. In addition, it never "sleeps," so my battery can go from a full charge to dead in about 4 hours. Not fun!

I called the phone company and they didn't even hassle me about it...just offered to send a replacement. THANK YOU!!!!!! It's always wonderful when the customer walks away feeling like a loved customer!

And to conclude the randomness that is my first day back to work...can someone please explain this ad to me? I'm not a fitness guru...I get that. But why would this be the after-workout beverage of choice? (Click on the picture so you can read the message in the blue circle.)
