Longest Week #452

I appreciate the slow days of Christmas break. It's nice to be able to park closer than 250 miles from my building. It's nice to not have a bunch of voicemails and emails rolling in faster than I can respond. It's nice to dust the desk and clean the drawers.
But it is so boring!!!
At 8:15 this morning, someone asked me how the day was going, and I said, "Well I'm just waiting for five!"
And now - one coffee, half a water bottle, half a coke, and three pieces of pizza later, I'm still waiting for five! Tonight I'm having the office girls over for dinner, so I keep thinking of all the things I could be doing at home. Maybe I'll get to go home early since I do need to preheat the oven. :) One could hope!!!
Well - I have absolutely nothing of importance to report. I was just blogging out of boredom.

I work on a college campus as well...and I love holiday breaks!! NO annoying college kids, better parking spaces, and no lines at the food court!

Phats - I SO wanted to take a nap. Somehow it didn't seem quite appopriate ON work time.

Amy - What?? You don't miss FA? You would just cringe if you saw how different it is now from when you were here! I (in a very SMALL way) understand waiting for 8. I used to long for bedtime when I babysat and the kids were especially cranky.

Nutz - You still get a food court? Ours closes down for break. :( Well I guess I rarely eat there as it is, so why do I complain???
