Why I Was Late, Series Finale
Tomorrow is my last day of work before I have the baby. I have not “officially” decided that I’m not going back, but unless something crazy happens, I’m pretty sure I won’t be. Yesterday was my last day of work with Mills, since he left for Colorado today. It was pretty sad. We’ve had a fun couple of years, and I can honestly say I’ve never had more fun at any other job that I have at this one. I will miss the daily lunches with the Ills, singing songs to Frankie B as he walks up the aisle to my desk to hang out, occasional harassment and heated Sametime debates from George, Lee in general, and really too many other things to list. I really can’t write too much about it, because I find it all very sad; it’s truly the end of something great. We’ll all still hang out of course (even though Mills doesn’t believe me), and there’s tumblr! I keep telling them all that I expect them to visit me in the hospital, but I am not sure if that’s going to happen..ha! I still can’t believe that in a couple weeks, I am going to have a baby. She’s going to rely on Q and me for everything; how bizarre. I know I’m going to love being a mom, and I am sure I will fully embrace retirement from office life, but it’s just a really sad transition. Tomorrow is going to be the worst, because I am working 1-5:30, so there won’t even be a farewell lunch.
Ok, enough of that, on to why I was late. Basically, I knew I didn’t have anything to do today, and I knew Mills wasn’t there to a) give me something to do, or b) hang out with and do nothing, so I couldn’t justify making my huge, tired self, get out of bed at 6:30. I went in around 10. I had lunch with some friends, made and distributed a flyer for an office fundraiser, handled a few small tasks, then set my out of office and voicemail with maternity leave messages. It was BORING!! Frankie came over to talk for a few minutes, but didn’t stay long; I am hoping we can visit more tomorrow afternoon. Anyway, that’s really it. Bummer, I know.
I hope to find a way to integrate Why I Was Late posts into stay-at-home life, but the problem is that I’m usually on time for non-work appointments/social events. (Q doesn’t understand it either).
