Saturday afternoon

I'm at work now. Saturday afternoon and I'm in the office. What gives?

It's that time of year - annual pension statements, benefits summaries, insurance reconciliations, and we're training a new Administrative Assistant. She's learning fast, but with so much to do, I had to come in to help keep up with the pace. Once the inflow of paperwork exceeds the outflow, you find yourself in danger of suffocation.

Eldest is with me. She's working on a book report in our "Training Room" just ten feet from my office. Other than that, the building is quiet except for the hum of the air handlers and the click of the keyboard. Anyone that worked today is probably long gone by now.

We took down the Christmas decorations this morning. Wonderful Wife likes to have them down on New Year's weekend. She finds it depressing to leave them up. I find it depressing to take them down so soon. Today went well and I'm glad to have it (almost) done.

Well, I came to work, so work I must.
