Catching Up

Since the government only "pays" me for the first year of being a mom, starting next week I have to go back to work. Which is fine, y'know, we're pretty lucky getting a year up here to be stay-at-home moms in our igloos. I'm just not confident I can function as an individual again, and I'll miss my little sidekick.

I'm only going to be in the office part-time, so Da Boss is hooking me up with a laptop so that I can do some work from home. Which is pretty sweet, because when I first started working there (like, back when dinosaurs roamed the earth...velociraptors, even) Da Boss was of the "why would I spend money on NEW equipment when this works fine?" mentality. So he offered it up and my first thought was, "That will be awesome for blogging".

And my second thought was, "I wonder if the video card can handle Warhammer?".

I take my job very seriously, I can assure you.

bwahahahahah stay at home mom in our igloos... hahahahah. love it. When I was a teen I went to Florida and totally managed to convince several fine American teens that I rode a dog sled to school and had never been in an outdoor swimming pool (because they would all freeze "up here" of course!)

funny.

LOL!
Also remember, the government is "paying" you YOUR money! All those EI payments you've made over the years add up...
And ((hugs)) I know it will be hard.

Ugh, that was the hardest thing for me to go back to work so I'm feeling for ya. Are you stressing over it? How is your childcare situation? Good on your boss for hooking you up. I get one day a week at home with a laptop and I feel so privileged to be able to do it. Go us!
