Lunchtime and other thoughts

Loneliness is the best way to describe lunch time at work.

Pretty much EVERYONE leaves so I’m left all by myself.

1. I have to man the phones
2. I don’t get asked to go out to eat with everyone because I have to stay behind.
3. I am left with customers that want to talk to someone so they yell at me because no one is answering. I try to explain it’s lunch time here so they are at lunch (WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO!!!)
4. All of my break people have left and I need to use the restroom… but there is no one to take over for me while I run to the bathroom, so then I have to try to hold it the best I can. (doesn’t seem right to me, but I asked my boss and she said if no one is available I can go and leave the desk for a minute. Phew)

I was once told that not everyone goes to lunch at the same time… pretty much a lie. Trust me I know, I am here when I try to get a hold of people and NO ONE ANSWERS! I’ve decided that answering telephones isn’t really my thing, but filing and computer stuff isn’t too bad. I can’t wait until I get my dream job “my own library” =]

I thought it weird to email my boss and ask her but I need to know what I do when no one is here to take over for me for a few minutes. (Because I was told I’m not allowed to leave my desk area)

I love my job but there are a few things that could be tweaked. Man if I was pregnant here I could only imagine because I already go to the bathroom enough as it is. Lol

On a different note working out is going pretty good. =] I am pretty proud of myself for sticking with it. I had people place bets on how long I’d last, and I want to win and show them I can do the whole 9 weeks (and even longer)! I want to feel good about myself but I don’t want to be pushed too hard, Spencer is pretty good at making sure I do it.

I know about 20 people engaged, it’s insane, but awesome! Like my mom said “Love is in the air” it sure seems like it. <3 Shall I name them all?

Married life is great, we are learning more and more about each other and it’s a great experience. I have this one friend of mine named Julia, who was married about a year ago and she has been helpful with some advice every now and then. She is soon to have a baby girl =]

The weather is just beautiful today =] It’s cloudy and cool, not too cold and not too hot. I LOVE it! It’s FRIDAY!

I love just sitting here and typing all the random thoughts that come to my mind…

There are SO many things I am looking forward to in my future! =]

BUT I need to try and focus better on the here and now. Sometimes I am dreaming so much about the future that I miss the things I should be grateful for that are RIGHT in front of me. I need to slow down a bit and take a step back.

One thing I love, a tradition Spencer and I have kind of started is every night from about 9-10pm we watch an episode of Doctor Who! =] It’s my new favorite show thanks to the Peacock Family haha

You know what also BOGGLES my mind is how we hear ourselves different than other people hear us. So when you go back and listen to a recording of yourself you are taken back by the sound. Am I right? I kind of like what I hear rather than what others hear but oh well you get over it.

WE’RE GOING CAMPING ON PIONEER WEEKEND!!! =] I’m really excited; now we just have to make sure we covered all the holes in our air mattress.

1. We kind of hope some other people will come camping too but if not it’s okay.
2. We still need to figure out where. Far enough away from the city but close enough so we don’t have a super long travel time to get there and back.

I am kind of excited which is unusual because I hate camping but it’s been awhile.

Pros:

1. Stories around the camp fire
2. S’mores & yummy snacks
3. Cozy warm sleeping bags to keep me warm =]
4. A husband to also keep me warm
5. Spending time with nature
6. Hopefully taking beautiful pictures =]

Cons:

1. No showering (unless there is a lake to take a quick dip in )
2. No bathrooms (unless the camping area has port a potties, which I hope)
3. No TV for my workout DVD’s (maybe we’ll just go hiking and running to still keep on schedule with my workouts.)

How exciting =]

Off I go to keep myself busy at work. haha
