Office Excursion

Today, I decided to venture into a distant land, a place I once frequented every day –the office.  While I don’t miss the monotony of going into the office daily, there are some things I do miss.  Lunches, hallway conversations, networking, and breaks are a few of the things that will draw me out of my self-imposed hibernation at home.  Oh yeah….and the free soft drinks in the break room.  Then again, maybe it was the packages that had been waiting a couple of weeks for me to pick up.

Anyway, I had a nice lunch with one of my co-workers and decided to stick around for the afternoon.  I was hoping to depart a bit early to beat the traffic (one of the things I don’t miss about going into work), but my afternoon meetings ran long.  If you don’t leave before 5 pm, you’re out of luck.  So, I just decided to stay there and wrap up my projects.  I finally left around 7:30 pm (just like old times).  If it wasn’t for Gary, I would be a serious work-aholic.  Of course, he might argue that I am one already.  Maybe I’m in denial.

Tomorrow will be back to the normal routine.  Wake up, walk to my office, and work.  Ah, it’s so much simpler, but there are some potential dangers of teleworking.  You do have to be careful.  Check it out…
