Work/Life etc

July 23rd, 2015 at 08:20 am

I don't know what it is, but I've gotten to the point that I enjoy going to work. It's not the actual company itself, it's my coworkers. Yesterday a coworker and I were talking about me having a degree. I was surprised he brought it up, because I had only mentioned it in a passing comment before. As it turns out, it reminded me that I actually enjoyed studying Psychology all those years ago at uni. On the way home, I found myself searching for recent articles on Psychology on the bus home.

How weird to find this morning that DP had commented on a very old post about me having a degree.

This morning I took a personality test and I was really surprised at how accurate it was.

DH thinks my positive attitude at work is due to the fact that I was on maternity leave for nine months before. Yes that has helped, but it's also nice to have some adult conversation. His attitude at the moment is the opposite, so we're clashing there. He's been at me to get in touch with my friends more/make new ones so I think I may have a new one soon. (I also got in touch with a few other friends too.)

After work yesterday I bought cot sheets for J, plus some milk, yogurts and a few treats.

I still haven't received the terms and conditions yet from Nationwide, so I will have to get back in touch with them. I'd really like to see what happens - if I get the 0% card.

    Adult conversation is so important...and a spouse doesn't always fulfill that role.

    Sarah, so happy you are enjoying being back at work. Works is so much more pleasant if you like the tasks and your colleagues. I'm always so sorry for people who feel they are locked into jobs they truly dislike. I can't imagine dragging myself to a job for 35 years!

    Hmm, be careful what you wish for...I seem to be on the other end of the spectrum. DH likes to tell me how to solve problems, even circumstances I hadn't identified as 'problematic.' He enjoys telling me details of his day and a lot of it ends with my being roped into editing his papers or watching presentations. I'm supposed to explain what I understood and what I didn't get. The point being if I understand, any idiot will get the message.

    Thanks!
    @snafu: that is true, it has been more pleasant Smile I keep comparing it with my old department and this is so much better. I'm not saying I love all the tasks I do but it does help if there's someone you get along with there to help pass the time. That's nice he likes to get your input Smile

    I'm glad you are enjoying the adult conversation at work. Smile
