TGIF but I am still Grumpy!

I really wanted to post about something positive but I don't think I have it in me at the moment. My husband just called to let me know his flight has been cancelled due to ice and he can not fly out of New York until tomorrow, meaning he won't be home until 11 p.m. tomorrow. Ugh, I was so looking forward to a little help after a long tiring week. But I refuse to whine in this blog today! So let's think of a few positive thoughts...

Well, I can say they finally fixed my lights this morning so I am no longer in the dark at work! (Although I must admit my office is very very very bright! Thank you flourescent lighting.)

Another positive thought is that it is almost the weekend and Superbowl weekend at that with a superbowl party to look forward to.

I have completed 4 full weeks of Pilates with no absences and this week did manage to walk about 6 miles. So I can say my exercise plan is progressing nicely.

Theonly other positive thing I can think of at the moment is that my headache appears to be responding to Motrin and soon will be only a memory.

An Update...

Well I felt the need to share that I still have NO lights in my office! Fours days without a visit from Engineering!

Sitting in the Dark

I just had to share my frustration about sitting in my office at work in the dark, or at least in very dim lighting. I know I work for a huge company, but why can they not find someone to fix my office lights in two days! My lights stopped working yesterday. Luckily I have a small desk lamp I rarely use that has been a Godsend. However, in a small interior office with no windows my little desk lamp only brightens a small part of my desk. Now working in this dim lighting for some tasks is not too bad. I find it kind of soothing after all the flourescent lighting. However, for the past year with the space constrictions, I have found my resources growing smaller and smaller. When I started working here, I was given a lot of respect and treated exactly the same as the M.D.'s. Over the years due to many factors, things have changed. I currently have to see patients in my office, which is not desirable. The M.D.'s never see patients in their private offices (which are a lot larger than mine with windows). Confidentiality is more difficult as my room is not sound-proofed. It is small with no windows and basically if anyone decided to attack me I will be in big trouble and no one will no about it until it is too late! And now, at the moment, for the past two days I have had to see patients in this small claustrophobic room with minimal lighting!

Should I take bets on how long they take to fix my lights?
