Not too Shabby

My first day back at work went pretty good.  My pants still sorta fit me.  Hallelujah for work slacks…they stretch easier. 

The thing about working at a bank is that there is a lot of different usernames and passwords involved….sometimes more than 1 in a single task.  I can’t write them down.  So I write down notes to where only I could know what they mean.  I couldn’t remember what my notes meant.  Seriously the hysterectomy made me stupid.  I forget some of the craziest stuff!  I spent a lot of my morning, on the phone, getting myself into my log-ins.  I had one woman laughing so hard at me on the phone because of how bad I locked myself out!!  I could hear the tears streaming down her face as she laughed at me.  It was too funny.  Once I got to my actual job I did really well.  I missed it.    stairs.gif

I was able to get up and walk around as needed.  Though I did push myself a little too much at first.  I always work on deadlines.  I needed to beat an 11:00 deadline so I sat too long trying to reach it.  I finally had to give in and go for a long stroll around the bank.  I am up on the third floor so I have plenty of room to roam.  I also decided to start an at work exercise regimen.  I use the stairs in the morning to get to my office.  I climb down to the basement to get the mail.  Then there are some long halls that I have to walk to get to the elevator and to my office.  So I use that route to get back to my office.  Then at the end of the day, since I’m wore out, I just use the elevator.  I hope to work up to not using the elevator at all, like I used to, but I know I’m not anywhere near that yet.
