On a Lighter Note

family, fitness, living, motherhood, self, workplace

The unofficial holiday nicknamed take your child to work day happened recently. I do believe it is a holiday.

From party time to petting the de facto fitness mascot to playing a rousing game of racquetball, I think the day was a success. She also acquired some new relatives. Meet Aunt Tim. It’s hard to find good help so I guess she’s hired.

My new boss

She also added 3 extra days to my calendar which I didn’t notice until the following morning. When does February have 31 days?! It makes sense – she adds gray hair to my head, eternal sighs of weariness, and calendar days. Why not. To me, it felt like the longest day ever but as she was falling asleep that night, she exclaimed it was her favorite day ever and when could we do it again.

I’m just thankful my office phone hasn’t worked in …going on… 18 days now. Because if it had been, good grief.

I ask you –

Have you ever taken your child(ren) to work? How did that work out?

Is having an inoperable office phone really a bad thing? Rhetorical, of course.

Tell me a few things the people in your life give you! example, a hard time

  2. Have you ever taken your child(ren) to work? How did that work out? Nope, don’t have any kids. 😉

    Is having an inoperable office phone really a bad thing? I think it’s a good thing ;). (Well, unless you have to make a lot of outgoing calls) I hate to say this, but I was that person who phone was set to one ring then straight to voicemail. Well, we had to set that up when we were working home during the pandemic, but I never changed the settings when we returned to the office. However, on my outgoing message, I did instruct folks to send me an email.

    Not the same person, but:
