I’ve been doing some work for a former employer ever since I left in 2007. It’s stuff I could perfectly well do at home, but…well, I was having trouble motivating to do it at home. So I asked if I could go in for a couple of days, and they set me up with an office. I went in for two days this week.
It was actually really nice to go in and see people. There are some I’m in touch with, but I’m not in touch with, for example, Vince the mailroom guy. I went out to lunch with colleagues, and I actually had friends to go say hi to when I needed a break! At home when I need a break, I can…uh…well, there’s always facebook.
I came back from lunch today and this was on my chair:
Yep. I’ve been gone for two years, and I’m still on hospital junk mail lists. (This made me laugh. I love that Vince dropped this off for me.)
