12 weeks off of work and I'm heading back in the morning. I can't tell you how excited I am! I get to get up first thing in the morning, head to work, stop off for my lovely daily coffee and go to my little place at work - my own cube. It's not much living in cube world, but I honestly love it.
I'm starting a new job as of tomorrow too. Well, I'll probably get the week to ease back into things, plus, I have two half days this week for appointments (taking back the time from when I went in during my leave to move cubes). So next week will probably start my new new job. Same group, new manager and a totally new job. I've wanted to move to Project Management from Development for a long time and my boss finally reorganized the group to give me this responsibility. My new boss is awesome too - we've been friends for years, but the good thing here is I also respect the shit out of her, so there shouldn't be a problem recognizing her as my boss. She's given me the choice to go into a BA (business analyst) or PM (project manager) roll. The final decision hasn't been made, but I may start in the BA roll because it's more closely related to my development background, which should really come in handy.
I already blogged about it on my other blog, so if you want my opinions about the family aspect of going back to work, check it out there.
Such exciting times. I hadn't posted this weekend at all and I had to get the boob post away from the top of the screen. So I give you this dribble. :)
... Once (and still) Infertile, but still Schnarky as hell. This blog is dedicated to the daily ramblings from the mind of Nancy. It isn't about anything profound in the grand scheme of things, but it ~is~ about things in my life, schnarkiness always included. I have a second blog, listed in my profile, but the blogs will continue to remain separate.

About Me

- I am a 39 year old woman. I am the mother of two beautiful daughters and a handsome son. I am a career woman. As for my TTC world, it certainly doesn't seem like I am "infertile", but I fought for my pregnancies and my TTC/IF history is on the sidebar. I have two blogs, which are both listed in my profile. One focuses on my daily life - including IF, TTC, pregnancy, delivery and even some "children mentioned" posts. The second blog is ~soley~ posts directly about being the mother to my three children.

Good luck! I so wanna take you to work like it's your first day of school.
"Got your purse, Nancy? Okay good. Here's your lunchbox. Play nice with the others and remember what I said about biting."
Have a great first day back at work!!!
Good luck tomorrow!!
Sounds great! Have an awesome first day back!
Have fun back at work this week!
LMAO @ Heather. Damn that girl is FUNNY! Have a WONDERFUL Monday at work and an even better day when you get home!
Hope you have a great day tomorrow.
Hope you have a great day at work!
Have a great day back, Nancy!! I totally understand needing to get back. I know working makes me a better mom...wish I could do it part time. :).
Good luck with the new position. I thought about trying management too, but what a headache. I decided to stay in my cushy analyst role (statistician in health care). Much more time to goof off, deal with sick kids, and all that.
Hope you have a rocking day at work! A new kind of routine! Be cubediva!
Good luck! Though you totally sound like you don't need it. Maybe "Congrats!" is more appropriate instead ;)
I am wishing you the best for your first day back at work. It will be fun to see your friends and coworkers and share your baby experiences with them.
Have a good first week back at work. The new job sounds interesting. It's so hard to find good business analysts because you need people who can talk with programmers AND normal people. It sounds like the perfect fit for you!
Have a great first day back at work!!
Lots of luck for your first day back!! :-)
I hope you have a great first day! Enjoy your new cube!
Good luck--hope it's going well so far! Hope you have a nice cube with a view. :)
a la Office Space. Don't go tipping over your cube now! LOL....
Good luck! I'd gladly trade in my office for a cubicle if it meant some peace for me!
i can't tell you how many days i wish i was still in the work world! there are definite pros and cons to both sides. today was certainly one of those days where i wish i could "call off" of being a stay at home mom. i hope all went well!!!
Hope your second day back is going well!
Hope you enjoyed your first day back.
Back to work already?
12 weeks already?
OMG.. time flies!
Hey.. I left something for you on my blog.
