Sweat - How I've Missed You!

Ok, maybe I haven't exactly really missed sweating per se, but boy have I missed what causes it, which is that big, beautiful, beaming ball in the sky. Yes folks, the sun. She's come back to me today and I couldn't be happier! I actually sat outside at lunch for the first time in months. And yes, I did sweat, because it was that warm. Seriously, words cannot describe the happiness I'm feeling right now basking in the afterglow of natural warmth. You know, as opposed to all that unnatural warmth brought on by hideous layers of clothing and costly space heaters. T-shirt, jeans and open-toed shoes are back, at least for today! No more nasty cold and rain. Just glorious blue skies! Remind me again why I left So Cal, because right now I just don't know.

As if blue skies and sunshine weren't enough to celebrate it's also the last workday before Easter (hooray for Good Friday off). In my office that means it's Godiva bunny time! I may or may not have mentioned that I have a fantastic boss. My job is often dull, but I stay because my group is great and so is my boss. Oh yeah, that and the paying the bills thing. But my boss is just an all around great guy to work for. He's very task oriented - do your work well and the rest doesn't really matter so much. So my hours are flexible and thanks to our generous vacation plan I get 4 weeks off a year, not including sick days. But, not only is he good about not micro-managing and letting me have a flexible schedule, he also loves chocolate, and sharing it with the rest of us. So at Christmas and Easter each year we get Godiva from him. Totally uncalled for, and incredibly appreciated!

And, as the icing on the cake today, I also got my new work laptop. So bye-bye crashing machine of doom! Yesterday this thing actually just turned itself off on me. I was reading a document and all of a sudden the screen went black. I rebooted and everything was fine, but thank goodness I wasn't in the midst of typing anything or I would have lost my work. The new one is heavier, but I'm ok with that now I think. I guess I have to be, as this one really is on its last leg and they didn't let me order a smaller one.

Happy Easter all!
