I know I'm being silly, hubby and darling daughter both told me so, but I'm going to talk about it anyway.
The company I have worked for the past 14 1/2 years has purchased a new headquarters building to consolidate the 5 offices they currently have in the Dallas area into 1. This is actually a very cost effective decision for them. Beginning yesterday through the end of February everyone is being moved to the new building. Tonight is the night all my stuff gets moved. It really is bittersweet.
I have worked in this building since the year I graduated high school, long before I met my husband, had my children or bought my first house. It is like a second home to me. I keep thinking as I do stuff today, this is the last time I'm going to turn this way to go to work, this is the last time I'm going to badge into this parking garage, this is the last time I'm going to have breakfast in this cafeteria, etc.. I really am going to miss the routine and familiarity of the old building.
On the other hand, tomorrow I begin a new adventure. Learning a new route to drive to work, finding a new parking spot in the garage, learning places to eat and shop around the new building, learning where all of the services (cafeteria, credit union, etc.) are. The building is brand new and I really am excited to be moving there. It will be like moving into a new house!
In other news...
Darling daughter went back to school today after being out for 2 weeks. Long story short, she was not happy about it. On the other hand, little man was raring to go this morning and ready for his day at "school". It's cold around here, way colder than it should be in Texas in January. I might actually have to go buy a coat as the jacket I wear is not cutting it.
That's enough of my rambling for today. Hope everyone has a wonderful day and stay warm!
