Back to Work
Well I'm FINALLY back to work! :-) It felt like forever since I've put in an honest day of hard work!!! It was great to be back at LMNK. It felt like coming home offically. I saw a bunch of friends, and even Alex was able to pop over to my cube twice since he had meetings in my building. The sad part is that we have moved from the 140CV bld. to 500, so we are seperated from the GDs and some more of my friends, and to be honest, my cube is pretty lacking compared to my old one at 140...and DEFINITLY smaller compared to my GB one! But it'll feel better once I bring my decorations in.
It was probably one of the best first days ever. I got in and did the benefits orientation. Then they sat me at my cube, and right away we had about 78 assets that needed reviewing...so I spent half an hour figuring out the new database (so much as changed!) and the rest of the day until I left reviewing assets. It was wonderful! I felt useful!! It almost felt like I never left once I got into the groove! Anyway, projects are coming down the line soon so that'll be nice and I can jump back in with two feet. My boss Keith kept coming over and patting my shoulder telling me: "We're so happy that you've come back to us" :-)
Anyway, it was really nice. My mood-o-meter has increased by at least 50%. I am sure it will increase another 50% tomorrow when Carrie is back in the office. I have her for a week before she leaves to go to her new company! It's just like old times...there's a going away happy hour for Carrie on Friday night...so that'll be really fun, and a great opportunity to talk to everyone and just relax. :-) Jeff (my old cube mate) has requested that I wear my pink cowboy hat to work tomorrow, but I have to refuse. I'm not quite ready to make an ass out of myself yet...give it time ;-)
So, now I have BIG plans for the night. Dinner with Seymen and then it is the premeire of a lifetime movie tonight: "Confessions of an American Bride". Maki and I are having Lifetime TV night and sleepover at her apartment. SO I have to go pack and find some cube decorations so I don't feel so EMPTY tomorrow ;-)
More later! See yaaa!

A WHOLE DAY at lmnk and you never even said hi!! (mind you - I did WAH until noon - and then I had meetings at 1:00, 3:00, and 4:00....but STILL!) Who do you think you're going to gossip with when Carrie's gone??
Seriously though - Welcome Home!!!
