A good first day at work

I was real busy in the morning, getting caught up with emails and calls. I'm glad I checked my inbox frequently during my 2-week vacation, and so I am not left reading a lot of new stuff today. I only had to re-read those that I needed to deal with.

I planned to go out to lunch today with a colleague but as Michael was leaving for lunch, I was on the phone and I wasn't exactly keen on excusing myself so he went on ahead. As I was about to head out to join him, I got an important message to go into a call with my boss so before doing that, I gave Michael a call telling him not to expect me. He volunteered to get me something and that turned out to be very welcome as I did not have time to go out and grab lunch. An hour later, I was enjoying my free sausage sandwich with fries on the side at my desk. What a good life!

Also, I caught up with a friend over the phone. It's always good to hear and talk after a long time of not being able to see each other. We exchanged stories and also talked a little about home equity and taxes. hehe. Not that we're both an expert but she's currently based in New York and there's always a good amount of difference when it comes to properties and cost in NY compared elsewhere.
