Well hello, hello fabulous friends! Long time no see!
It's been seriously a while since I've been around. And I have a confession, I haven't kept up with your blogs while I've been gone. Shame on me!!! I could come up with a million and one excuses as to why I was absent, but the honest truth is: I was on VACATION!!! And then totally sick in bed for 3 days straight, and back to work Monday and Tuesday after being off a week was completely ridiculous and busy. I was super stressed! I can't wait to blog about my frustrations though :) I know you all love reading complaints. Justtt joshing. But I really hope you all don't mind if I recap my somewhat-crappy (sad face) experience in Vegas and my sob story about being sick. And work too. Oh, and don't I have to let you know the outcome of the Jetta problem?? Jeez, I really have a lot to update you on!!
But first, speaking of work, remember I vaaaaaguely hinted in THIS post about my new office in work (I dare you to find this "vague statement" it's really hard to find). Well, anyway, the time has come for me to say goodbye to my stupid open cube in work, and HELLLLOOOOOOO WALLED CUBE LIFE in our new office! We are changing locations (it's only 7 miles away) but I can not begin to tell you how freaking ecstatic I am about this move. Hell, I packed my shit up a week before I left on vacation (okay so I only did it because I knew this week would be shitty catching up while I was out). Ladies, I am going to have a CUBE that has WALLS, on ALL FOUR SIDES. Do you understand how freaking amazing this is? Here, I'll show you my current desk right now. Actually, shit I can't do that because I forgot my cellphone (dammit!!!) Ok, I don't think I could get anymore scatterbrained than right now but thank goodness for the old archives because I found this birthday post from last year and I posed a picture of my desk:
So, see how it's got that open ledge (and see where the sign says "Happy" in happy birthday, that's where my desk ends and there is a half wall separating me from my coworker's side). Can't you see how annoying this is? Because, hello, no privacy. Not that I'm doing anything bad, besides blogging. But I don't blog about bad things so this really doesn't count. And that short ledge in front of my desk is just a welcome center for people to come and talk to me. But yes, I am soooo soo SOO excited about having four walls that are high, and a HUGE DESK. Holy crap I'm getting the warm and fuzzies just thinking about it. So when I get my "office" really desk, set up, I will blog about that too. Because LET ME TELL YOU i have the cutest accessories known to man kind. Thank you Homegoods, Marshall's and Target (yes I bought that Nate Birkus gold dog tape dispenser)!
Besides the awesomeness that will be my new workspace, I am now able to get back into a van pool to work! PEOPLE, this is HUGE. I will have to drive about 15-20 minutes to hop on the van, and then let the snoozing begin! I don't have to drive to work anymore with the crazies! Someone else is going to do that for me! Oh my I'm just so happy!!!
ALSO! Another perk to our new site, there is a day care center!! Now don't get any ideas, but I'm just saying for the FUTURE, should I ever have babies, I'll be able to drop them off at the daycare and go to work and have no issues.
Come back tomorrow for the installment of my issues with Volkswagen! Can't wait to catch up with you all! I missed you!
Yay for the new office! Can't wait to see it all decorated!
ReplyDeleteWelcome back darling! I got freaking excited just by reading your excitement :) I love it. What do you do for work and how long is your commute total driving now? You have to drive 15-20 minutes then take a van? Girl that is rough, but I am glad so much good is going on because it is horrible to be miserable at work. YAY a new awesome facility. YAY a daycare center and just YAY for it all. Can't wait to read the recaps.
ReplyDeletePS: This blog design is just... yes. I LOVE IT.
hiiiiii. i missed you. i say free pass for vacation, and boo to being sick. crappy vegas? noooooo. i want to know, but i'm already sad.
ReplyDeleteyay for new work space walls! and yay for day care center, but really first i was like wait, what? haha.
oh hello there - i miss you. and i wanna see the new 4 cubed wall office. i will show you mine, if you show me yours! ha! <3
ReplyDeleteWoo hoo for you being back!! Missed ya girl and yay for having a new office space! Can't wait to see how you decorate it since office supplies are my weakness!! I'm sorry you were sick - but happy that you're feeling better!!
ReplyDeleteyay for new office space! Glad to have you back sometimes life happens and we need break!
ReplyDeleteOk this is awesome because you will totally get my dilemma. I just took a cool new position at work but that means I go from having an isolated cube in a corner where no one ever walks by and no one sits near me...to a high traffic area of the office where I will have pretty much the exact same set up as you and everyone will see my screen! Good screen placement is a huge factor in taking a job for me LOL
ReplyDeleteI was hoping to see another post from you! Congrats on your new office space! x
ReplyDeleteyay! privacy is a big thing for me and while i sit in a pod with 4 other people, at least we have walls tall enough so that i don't have to see them or what they're doing and vice versa. congrats on the new office space and the car pooling! :)

I've missed you! I can't wait to hear about your trip. And how exciting about the work move! I was absolutely thrilled when I got out of the half walled cubicles and moved in to something more private! It truly is the little things in life!
ReplyDeleteGlad to see your back. Look forward to catching up girl :)
ReplyDeleteHold up. Your old desk ended where "happy" ends? Not the "birthday" part?! That is crazy small!! I do appreciate the box of Kix hahaha. Also, how far is your work from where the work van picks you up? Our work just started a van service from the train station to work a few months ago and even though it's only about a 10 min drive (up a ginormous hill) it is AWESOME. So excited for your new workspace!
ReplyDeleteUmm, did someone get a blog makeover too?? CUTE!!
ReplyDeleteSo excited you get an actual office, with a door! I've always wanted one of those bit truly fear I'd never get any work done. I have the same size cubicle as before but way more work. It was worth it. Now about this bad Vegas trip....
I MISSSSSSED YOU!! Glad you're back (hopefully)
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see the new space!
