My friend Tantek<\/a> made a list of what he did for his first day back at work in the new year.<\/p>\n

He took a much longer holiday than I did. Must be nice!<\/p>\n

BUT he also worked a TWELVE HOUR DAY upon return. GEEK!<\/p>\n

This is what I did on January 2nd, my first day of work in the new year:<\/p>\n

*Got in at 8:30. Habit. It’s nice to come early, so I can leave early.<\/p>\n

*Check my email. Both work and yahoo. Yahoo comes up faster and is more interesting than my work email.<\/p>\n

*Noticed that one half of my co-workers were gone.<\/p>\n

*Went to coffee room to get coffee and Microwave my Kasha cereal<\/p>\n

*Ate and drank the above.<\/p>\n

*Called all the telcom companies who my company uses and who are irritating me.<\/p>\n

*Ordered a new cell phone for someone.<\/p>\n

*deleted the 5,000 odd spam emails that were in my Inbox. Including one about a teenage girl and a horse that I REALLY wish had not passed in front of my eyes.<\/p>\n

*Answered my personal email<\/p>\n

*Started a really interesting email discussion about which movies of the ’80s were great, and why films buffs ignore the ’80s so much<\/p>\n

*Did some other work stuff<\/p>\n

*Answered a phone call, giving answer #32 of my arsenal, describing the difference between a phone conference and a video conferecne. “In a phone conference, you use a phone and you only hear the other participants. In a VIDEO conference, you see the other side. There’s a TV in the room, and it talks to you.”<\/p>\n

*Started a video call<\/p>\n

*Surfed<\/p>\n

*Deposited my paycheck<\/p>\n

*Checked my bank account online.<\/p>\n

*Perused my Y-T-D totals sadly, contemplating that taxes were only getting worse and that I made a lot more last year.<\/p>\n

*Watered my plant<\/p>\n

*More work stuff<\/p>\n

*Left kind of late, because I was waiting for a phone call about the next day’s meeting.<\/p>\n

*Worked 9 hours<\/p>\n

I’ve left a few things out, but that pretty much covers it.<\/p>\n

I think in my next post, I’m gonna lie.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
