3 interesting things about my new job.
#1 The woman I replaced left behind in her desk 14 different hand lotions and 84 pennies. And apparently about 7 saved steamy messages from several different gentlemen callers. I didnt get to hear them but my boss said she blushed the entire time. dang gina.
#2 When you are re-introduced to old colleagues and they stand to greet you..they ONLY want a handshake, NOT a hug. I did not realize it until after about the 5th really awkward hug. But, really though? When you walk into a room and their face lights up and they stand and come around to the front of their desk to greet you, why would you go that far and NOT hug? You lead people to believe you are planning on hugging! But, no. As, I was going in for the hug, they would either A) stick their outreached hand into my stomach/chest area and I would just kind of hug "around" them. so weird. or B) say "oh, haha, we are hugging" and then I would say "oh, no! we can handshake" and it would be weird, so we would kind of hug. Ugh, I keep replaying it over and over in my head.
#3 I work with Jarrett Payton's wife. Walter Payton's son. Sweet.
That's all for now. I will somehow secretly take pictures of my office so you all (and by you all, I mean my sister in law and mother who will probably be the only ones reading this) can help me decorate (nothing can go on the walls though. boo). Im thinking more white?
peace.

Now that you know how to "officially" hug, there's no turning back, Steph! Miss you! Keep posting so I can keep up on what's going with you!
Why am I just now learning of this blog? I saw the link on Facebook and went back to read, through my tears, your previous years' posts! You have quite a gift for putting your thoughts into words. Does that sound like a proud MIL? Well, I guess I am! In spite of some of the "weird-ness" of your first day back I'm sure each day will get better - even the early morning wake-ups. Proud of you!!
