Well, today marks my first day back to work since the 27th of December. The break was enjoyable and relaxing – had a lot of great friend time, and a lot of great sleep.
- I can just never seem to leave the house on time, ever.
I am always, always supposed to leave the house ten minutes before my train arrives. Charlotte was on-POINT this morning, I didn’t even have to suggest she get out of bed, come downstairs, eat, potty, or get into her crate – I was just SLOW. The train leaves at 6:37 – so I BARELY made it on time.
As you can probably tell, my boss hasn’t gotten into work yet and I am most certainly just looking for something to do to pass the time…
To that end, to close this post, I’m going to take the advice of an old friend and share how I spend my time when I’m on the internet. I actually read, read, read. A lot of FactCheck.Org, CNN, and USA Today when it comes to news, and The Key Play, Sports Illustrated, and ESPN for sports. I love the Chronicle of Higher Education and Inside Higher Ed for news about higher education, and when I’m at work of course I read DHS Connect. One of my guilty pleasures is also TMZ. BUT, since I’m VERY tired of reading about Kim and Kanye’s fetus, I’m going to share a few articles that I found on USA Today, today.
I am especially grateful to Dr. Ed Spencer, a mentor of mine, for sharing the first one to his Facebook:
- 5 Silly Reasons for going to Graduate School
- 4 Questions to Never Ask in a Job Interview
- 10 must-see movies that are on Netflix instant streaming
I’ve read & enjoyed each, but I’ve also bookmarked each as reminders for the next time
I go into a job interview or the next time I have a spare 2 or 3 hours with my iPad and a wi-fi connection. :) Enjoy!
