The Blonde Diaries

My thoughts exactly. WTF?! Who plans a happy hour on a Monday? Mondays are like the worst day of the week to make it through at work. You have just come back from having 2 days off and now you have to start the week back at work. Mondays always seem to drag out the longest and seem to be the most hectic.

Luckily, today was not terrible. I made it through my 9am meeting and then ran to the grocery store at lunch and picked up everything we needed for this week and the beginning of next week. That run to the grocery store made such a huge difference when it came to leaving work and heading to happy hour. I didn’t have to worry about going and leaving really early so I could make it to Kroger. Instead, I was able to relax, have a large Diet Pepsi with a splash of rum and a few appetizers before coming home and working on dinner for later this week. So all in all, Happy Hour Monday was not the FAIL I thought it would be. It was actually a nice way to get out and chat with coworkers.

So when I first started my new job I had an office to myself for all of a week. It is an interior office and I’m bunking up with another girl that works here.  It has been pretty cool and helpful in learning the ropes around here and how to do things.  Plus the celebrity gossip is kept up-to-date.  Late last week, construction started for our office expansion and all I knew at the time was that I was moving offices and getting an office of my own but I wasn’t sure what it was going to look like or if it would be an interior or exterior office.

Today it was confirmed that I get my own office with a view of downtown Houston! I am super excited as it has been years since I had a window in any office that I worked in – shared or otherwise.  I think we are officially moving in at the end of the month but it depends on how long it takes to get everything wired, painted, and set up as we are also getting new furniture.   I am feeling very spoiled right now let me tell you.

Wouldn’t it be fabulous if we could all just put a sign like this out?  Or even better if there was a button to push on the IRS website?  Maybe one day that will be the case when we move to a national sales tax or a flat tax.  I know the tax accountants wouldn’t like that but I would be much happier if I didn’t have to fill out my tax form every year and see how much was actually going to the government.

Happy Wednesday…
