Spoiled Rotten @ Work
Tomorrow is my last day of work for the next year or so...yay! Not so 'yay' will be having only about 1/2 of my current income until going back to work. Better than a kick in the teeth or no income at all, as is the case with many other mommies in this world. Being a Canadian has its perks, for sure. At least the EI should be enough to cover the mortgage, which is my primary financial concern.
The folks at the office spoiled me something terrible today. We had a fantastic potluck lunch that I didn't even have to contribute a dish to! And I mean fantastic...two types of ambrosia salad, two different kinds of cheesecake, hot wings, meatballs, funky berry crumble crockpot dessert, shrimp ring, spinach dip, cupcakes, you name it!
In addition to the feast, they literally showered us with baby gifts. Individual thanks will be posted later. The office as a whole contributed money and gave us a $340 toysrus gift card..I was shocked and slightly overwhelmed at the same time. The people that I work with are far too good and generous to me, Danny, and baby-to-be. Now we can get the baby monitor, microwave bottle sterilizer, diaper bag, and baby bathtub that we need.
I promise to resist the temptation to use the gift card for a Nintendo Gamecube and games. I think I can get by with the Playstation2, Gameboy Advance, PC, and all the other older console game systems that we still have hooked up and play.

Sounds like you are well liked at the office. It makes a big difference to be able to have a work place like that.
