Sosuna-o-Lata

Yesterday was a fairly sad day at the office. One of the partners is leaving after 16 years at the firm. A friend of his offered him a great position elsewhere which he had thought about for weeks before deciding to take the offer. Yesterday was his last day. We have to change our name, our email, our stationary, our website, etc. He has some annoying habits that I won’t miss. Like leaving the coat closet doors open each and every time he goes out of the office, leaving dirty dishes in the sink instead of putting them in the dishwasher, pouring the last of the coffee and not making more and stinking up the bathroom across the hall from me each and every morning. Besides all of that, he is genuinely a nice guy and will be missed at the office.

Gotta love it when your employer picks a holiday to have off just because there’s a length of time between holidays. This week was particularly stressful, Presidents’ Day couldn’t have come at a better time!
I just need to get through tonight. We’re babysitting the twins, they’ll be 4 yrs old next month. It’s not a sleepover, thank goodness!

Before I left the office yesterday I was told I was going to have to be at reception from 9-1 today.  I wasn’t too happy about it and even entertained the idea of taking a sick day as I hate answering the phone and being all nicey-nice to the clients but I’m a bad liar.  My co-workers feel the need to make small talk with me because I am in a central location.  Many people walk by me while I sit here.  Not that I’m mean and nasty to people but some days I’d just like to be left alone to do my own work. 

One good thing about being down here is I get to surf the net.  I can catch up on my blog, my emails and all the celebrity gossip.  Poor Britney.
