Sooooo over it

Remember how excited I was to get back to the office?

Yeah, those days of hanging out chatting, having coffee and lunch, only working 3 days a week have run its course. I desperately want it to be over. I miss my life at home with Cole. I miss the flexibility to work a few hours and then run errands, play with Cole, have a nap (hee hee) if I want. I miss my lululemon pants!!!

For some reason there is an office policy….no napping at work. Trust me, there have been moments these past few weeks where I have shut my office door and closed my eyes. I gave the lady in the office next to me heads up to come knock on my door if it gets too quiet.

Here is the problem, and forgive me for venting but I must..

1. I have gone from 3 days a week to 5 days a week for the past 3 weeks. Typical of a CA firm, my staff magically disappeared onto other jobs and I am stuck holding the fort.

2. When I signed on for this, they said max 2 months, 3 days a week. Therefore I supplemented by continuing to teach a course on line from home for 10 hours a week. Now I am told this office job could run into June. NO THANKS

3. I am 6 weeks pregnant and tired. Known fact! Please do not tell me how tired I look. How my eyes look like two little pinholes. How about telling me to take a day off; that the job can manage for one day without me!

4. Do not look at me with shock in your eyes when I say I am not in the office Friday……it’s Good Friday! Yes I WILL be at home with my family. Deal with it.

5. Pay me please….. Receiving one cheque since Feb 20th is absurd. I need to see some cash for these hours I’m putting in and then maybe I’ll hush up.

So there you have it, my rant for the week and it’s only Tuesday.

This “going back to the office” has only made me realize 150% how happy I am as a stay at home mom, making some income when I can, but mostly when I WANT to. The days may be long and sometimes the job is “frustrating” but at least it’s under my terms. Being in the office makes me realize…

There’s no place like home.
