Things I missed about the old job.
You know, one thing I really missed about my old job was the freedom to read at anytime of the day. Doing what I did, my boss never blinked or glared at me whenever she walked past my desk and saw me tucking deep into a paperback.
At the older office, it was even better. Once I was given money, to run to the nearest bookstore, get a book which I needed to learn up for the materials we were producing, run back to the office and try to finish the entire book in 5 hours.
Technically I could do all that in this office, if time could permit me to. And I don't have to suffer nosey bosses poking around the corners anymore, since I have my own room (whee!). Technically, I could spend the whole day watching a DVD from the comfort of my office chair on Fridays where we have 2 hour breaks. Technically, I could spend about 2 hours a day reading the newspapers on a daily basis, since it is supposed to be part of the job. I could also walk out of the office should I need to take someone out to lunch or take up an invitation on dinner, anytime.
But I don't do that, because the deadlines are killers.
So as much as I can't wait for the week-long break, I dread the work that will surely follow after I get back.

The best thing, not to worry about working. Can sleep all day and collect the money from the hubby.
