Work Schmerk

Well, nothing lasts forever, and I reluctantly returned to work this week. Spending 4 weeks with Mel & Jessica was fantastic, and it's been difficult to drag myself out the door each morning. I did suggest taking Jessica to work with me, at least on alternate days, but the breastfeeding thing won out in the end (Jessica has developed quite a habit for the "magic pillows" as we now call them). So I've had to compromise and take in a lot of photos, which all the ladies at work have appreciated ("she's beautiful - are you sure she's yours?" tee hee heee).

Work is pretty much as I remember it...(have you seen the BBC series of "The Office"?)...which is probably enough said. However, in an effort to do something positive about my otherwise-bland role at work, I have this week come up with an idea to pitch a DVD to my bosses - sort of a corporate training thing. If I can pull it off, and convince them to give it a go for a trial volume, I'd finally be combining one of my passions with my work: a blend that I never thought possible (and since I can't afford to leave a well-paying, albeit boring role, to pursue a satisfying but financially-dubious life in media creation, some sort of blending would be a brilliant way to evolve from one role to the other). I'll put the pitch to them (via DVD I think - that'd be uber-professional!) sometime in the next 3 weeks. Very exciting, very scary: will keep you posted, of course.
