I met my girlfriends from my former employer today for lunch and it was wonderful!!!! We spent an hour and half catching up, laughing and pigging out on some wonderful Italian food. There were several people who could not come because of meetings and others that were out of town for spring break this week but I thoroughly enjoyed catching up with the ones who did come.
I really miss those girls!!!! I do not miss my job but I sorely miss the relationships and the day to day contact. Our office was so close knit and I think the stress and suffering made us closer as well. Sounds like a great place to work, huh?
I have already set up another lunch date with one of the other ladies that didn't come today. I want to make it a priority to get out of the house for "me time" from time to time...for my own mental health.
I hope everyone got to enjoy the sunshine today and there is more in line for tomorrow....and hopefully nobody else has a crazy neighbor lady yelling obscenities across the street all day every day. Hopefully she won't beat me up tomorrow for the note I sent to her today. We will see because the kids and I are going to be outside all day tomorrow...maybe I will just smile and wave.
smile and wave, smile and wave baby!!! Glad you enjoyed your day out.
ReplyDeleteYea! That sounds fun. I think I found the biggest difference in working and not working was the lack of a lunch break. No matter how stressful your job was, each and every day you got an hour all to yourself to do whatever you wanted. Now you are lucky if you get a chance to pee when you need to.
ReplyDeleteI think you should definitely make getting out and having time to yourself a priority. You'll be healthier for it, and your whole family will benefit.
I'm glad you had fun. One of the things I miss most about going to the office everyday is the feeling of being part of a team. Working from home 3 days a week, I don't have that anymore. I have alienated myself from the group. It's important to get out and do "big girl stuff". I wish I lived closer to Jess so I could watch the boys and she could get out for a few hours here and there. It would be good for both of us.
