Adventures of a well-rounded geek
When I left for work yesterday, these were hanging out: My coworker had got these rats for our Halloween decorations and everyone fell in love with them that they've become a year-round decoration. We used them at Christmas and now we're using them for Valentine's Day (a bit early, but everyone wanted them up). It…
Today I brought my dinosaur costume to work, got in it, and surprised my department's meeting. They knew I was coming in to do something fun but they didn't know what so everyone laughed and cheered when I suddenly appeared through the door dressed as a t-rex. I even passed out calendars that I had…
First day back and it was great - over a week out and I came back to only 55 emails, half of them being spam. Can you say stress-free day? Not only that, but I started the morning with an absolutely gorgeous moon. Wow was it giant, bright, and vivid. No one could be upset…
Today I came in to the office to be greeted by a giant zucchini and some zucchini bread. I thought that was a nice way to start my day. Although I didn't take the giant zucchini home I did have fun taking a picture of it and just generally ogling the size of it. The…
I am off of work for the next two weeks! Man I love working for a school district. The start to my break has been just wonderful. Yesterday, my two coworkers surprised me with a fun gift that I just had to share. For a little over a month now I've been doing my old…
On Wednesday, the internet and phones were down when I got in to work. After waiting for a couple hours, we were informed it would be at least 4 to 6 hours before everything would be back up. So, after waiting another hour to see if anything changed and debating on what to do, the…
Business cards! I have my very own business cards. I'm not quite sure if I'll ever actually need them, or need 250 of them, but it's still cool that I have some. I feel a bit more official now. Does this mean I need a business card holder? Eh, I think I'll wait off on…
So one of the joys of working for the school system, in the position that I have, is that I get a Spring Break! Granted, I am not paid for this week, but at the moment I don't care. My manager said that I could go into work if I wanted to and she would…
I'm coming to the end of my first two weeks at my new workplace. Although I have had my moments of overwhelming fear and anxiety, those moments have begun to diminish and I know I'll rock this job. This is going to be a job where I will be challenged; where I can do great…
Friday night I went out with my now old coworkers to celebrate my new job and say goodbye. We had a great dinner made even better by them making me my own terrarium! I am so excited and happy because I've wanted to have one for a while now but have never gotten the courage…
