Not very sociable these days


I'm uploading old posts in a slower pace now (I do have to tackle some tasks at work), but decided to stop waiting for this job to be done before adding new ones. So here I go with my first real time post on this blog. As if someone were reading it...

I've been bringing fruit to the office, together of cans of tuna and instant Campbell's soups that I eat for lunch, on my desk. I haven't been feeling much like going out for lunch these says. Being around people and having to talk to them seems like too much work. I'm not saying this as a complaint. Actually, it might be a good thing, because I have so much to do and, nonetheless, I can't quit reading old postings from a blog I found a couple of weeks ago. At least I feel like I'm spending more time in my office and it feels right, even when I don't get as much done.

When I started working here they were supposed to start some kind of construction in the buiding, so I was installed in a temporary office until the new ones got ready. It's been 16 months and I'm still here, not a sound of construction around yet. My "temporary" office is a big one, that I used to share with Kellie, a a project manager in charge of creating this whole new line of revolutionary make up. At first I hated the idea of sharing my office, but I got to know her and, sometime in the middle of these 16 months she became a close friend (great company for eating breakfast for lunch). Kellie left the company in the end of December and it fells very empty without her here. I probably needed her to balance me when I go crazy - and I do go crazy often. I received an e-mail from her this morning and she'll come by on Friday so we can go out for eggs and pancakes around lunchtime.

Do you ever feel like January is a very long Monday?
