Welcome to Friday Free-For-All, where I talk about anything and everything on my mind. This is usually just a great big brain dump, so brace yourselves!
Happy Halloween! One of my favorite holidays! Everyone at work is in costume, and we’re having a pumpkin decorating contest and they got a catered lunch. Score! Then tonight, Ben and I are off to a “Boos and Booze” Halloween party that our friends are hosting. I just need to be good and not drink too much and get to bed at a decent hour. I also need to squeeze in a Hocus Pocus viewing, cause it’s the best Halloween movie of all time.
I finally got my sit-stand desktop workstation! A while back, I mentioned to our office manager that I’d like to have a sit-stand workstation, because I get really sore and lethargic sitting at a desk all day. Time went by, and I figured she’d forgotten and I didn’t want to be a pest about it. As it turns out, she had ordered it immediately, but it had been back-ordered. It arrived Wednesday afternoon and we got it set up in no time. I’m SO EXCITED! It’s on a hydraulic lift system, so I can sit or stand whenever I want. I’m hoping that this will resolve some of the neck/shoulder pain I’ve been experiencing lately, and will help me burn more calories during the day. Woo!
There is a giant bowl of candy corn on my desk. It’s taking all my willpower not to inhale it. Whyyyyyyy?
What are you doing to celebrate Halloween?
Lisa is dressed up at work, not me (doesn’t work in our facility 🙂 ) … but I will be tonight! We will pass out candy, while our younger son hangs out with friends and older son scrambles working on his NYU early decision application! It will be a blast! 🙂
I’ve never actually stayed home to hand out candy–I bet that’s fun! Enjoy!
Congrats on the desk! Have fun at your party!
Thank you! The desk is so excellent 🙂
That candy corn would be gone in 5 minutes if it were anywhere near me. You win at willpower. 🙂 I hope you had a fun weekend!
I had an excellent weekend, thank you! I hope you did as well.
P.S. The candy corn is STILL on my desk. My willpower may not be as good today 😉
