Monday in My Little Corner

Monday Monday........never my favorite day of the week. But here it is and soon there it will be. It was a busy day at work today. But the day really flew by. At one point, I looked to see when I was scheduled to take my lunch, which was at 11:30, and then I looked at the clock on the lower corner of my monitor and it read 11:28. At that point it felt like I still had almost an hour's work to go, but was pleasantly surprised that it was lunch then. We are preparing for another winter storm coming on Wednesday afternoon/evening. It is days like that that make me thankful that I work from home, that 17 barefoot step to the home office is nice. When I began my working career in the early '80's I never even thought that I could possibly end my working career some year right from home. But I'll take it if it is still around in 2027. The local news featured an NFL player, Sidney Brown, who got his first superbowl ring yesterday. He has a twin brother who plays on another US team and was there to celebrate with his brother. It is so nice to hear of success stories like that.

Glad you have the opportunity to work from home. I miss the social aspects of working outside the home, but nothing else.

We still have some interaction with our coworkers through chats and virtual meetings. There are less distractions, which I really like.

@Juliaacv I only talk to the mystery shop people via email not that it is a real "job." They are usually doing something "helpful" like reminding me of my assignment, like I ever forgot one... Lots of times if you have a question they seem to make themselves scarce. However, they are OK for the most part I guess.

Pretty to cool to have brothers in the same league and there to celebrate with each other when one has major honor. I am working from home from time to time each week.

Yes, they are twins, and they share their love of playing football. I like working from home. Of course so much of my working wardrobe for in office is out-dated already.

@RebeccasFarm That is cold, we are having a really nice and dry day today with sunshine. It feels like the calm before the storm that they are forecasting for tomorrow.

You keep safe and warm too. I will go out after work today to see the twins and then will be content to stay inside until the storm passes.

Thank you, they did downgrade it to a winter storm advisory, which means that we could be getting more freezing rain than snow. The girls will be doing their usual on Friday, going to playgroup. I picked up a couple of things for them that Grandpa will bring over to them.

Yes, I like it, especially on the cold days or when it is raining outside. Just not having to spend my time commuting is great.

I almost had to go into work from the office today as the power went off here, but it was wide spread and they did not have any at the office.
