For the money

It’s been a while since I talked about work, so here goes.

I like my job - actually, I love my job. My boss rocks, and he didn’t make me come into the office all summer. I will have to go in sometime this month to meet our new CIO, but that’s cool. It’s great working for someone (a MAN no less) who understands that child care and gas cost money.

I just finished a huge project. HUGE. Literally months hunched over a spreadsheet. And I am so fricking relieved! I was getting sick of doing the same thing day after day after day. Now I have 4 or 5 smaller projects to keep me busy and I’m much more content.

In another month I’ll have been at this company for 2 years…and I’m still not sick of my boss, or the work. I think that’s a good sign!

Phew. Nothing like a few jam-packed days of meeting and training sessions to suck the life out of you! I was so wiped out last night I went to bed earlier than I have in weeks, and fell asleep in just a few minutes.

After the meetings wrapped up last night, about 10 of us from my office went to the Columbia in Ybor City upon an invite from our CIO, aka my bosses boss. We started off with sangria and tapas (Empanadas de Picadillo, Black Bean Cakes, and Shrimp and Crabmeat Alcachofas). I had Paella “A la Valenciana” for my entree:

Prepared in a traditional paella pan, features clams, mussels, shrimp, scallops, calamares, grouper, chicken and pork, baked with Valencia rice, extra virgin olive oil, green peppers, Spanish onions, ripe tomatoes, garlic, spices and splashed with white wine.

Love to live it up when the company is paying for it!

Today I’m working at home and it’s the kids last day of winter break. Thank GOD - I need for them to go back to school so I can get my routine back!
