This section of my blog has been on hiatus for the past several months, mainly because my job had turned into a stay at home Mom while on maternity leave. I returned to work at the end of January, and realized, this time, that I was ready to return to work, and really looking forward to it - or parts of it anyway.
Upon returning to work, I realized how much I missed ADULT interactions and conversations. Don't get me wrong, I love my two girls more than anything, but I love being able to have a conversation that doesn't involve Dora the Explorer or explaining why we don't pee on people, the couch, the floor, etc. Plus, Mackenzie isn't much of a talker yet, so the conversations were really one sided.
Don't get me wrong, we still have conversations at work that would be classified as potty humor, however, the difference being, we all know why we shouldn't pee on the couch, or the floor, or the dog, or other people. So the explaination isn't necessary (for most of my co-workers).
The mental challenges that I go through on a daily basis at work far exceeds those of my days when I was staying at home. My brain needs this level of stimulation, in fact, I think it craves this level of stimulation. Poor Tom, probably got more phone calls from me at work while on maternity leave then he has in the entire 9+ years we have been married. The phone calls weren't even for important things, but maybe just re-capping what I learned on FOODTV that day, or TLC.
So to sum it up, Why I love my Job Reason #6 - Adult Interaction and a brain that has been saved from watching rotten TV.
