Yeah, the day started out kinda rough (except for the guy who obviously smoked a bit of the maryjane... that was kinda funny), but the rest of the day was great. Crazy as it sounds, I miss my co-workers when I'm not in the office regularly. They make my day really fun.

I've mentioned a time or two that most (dare I say 85%?) of the people in my group are guys. I like that; and it's not what you might think. Working with guys just means less drama. Interestingly enough, the girls in my department are unlike women I've worked with in the past. The women I work with are phenomenal. We do our jobs, get stuff done and go home at the end of the day. Plus? We have fun.

Girls in my department RULE!

About the guys though..... I love it that I can tell them to mind their own business and they shrug their shoulders and say, "OK". I'd say that at LEAST once an hour, I have one of the guys hanging over my cube wall talking about this or that (and I *SWEAR* it's business related), and another one will walk by and start hanging too. Since I don't want to look like the party cube- I tell guest number two to take a number and I'll get back to them. No hurt feelings, and (I'm sorry- fellow women-folk) that would NOT fly with women. In my past jobs, there would be a lot of huffing and puffing and hurt feelings.

Ick and bleh.

I was sad to see that my favorite co-worker wasn't in the office today. I dunno, but he always makes the day fun for me. I got an email from him this evening that he was taking care of his wife after surgery. I said that it was kinda funny because I was taking care of BJ's hang nail- so we were both being nurses. He said that I win on the grossness scale.

Go me!

Yup, it was a good day afterall~even thought the commute was 2 hours each way. At least I had great music to listen to. Ready? Barry White and Johnny Cash. Does it get anymore random than that?

I wrote to my 'new' daughter, Jessica today that life is short- you should love what you do for a living. By gosh, I think I've found that.

I'm a lucky girl.
