Anyone else distracted at work?

I seriously can not do work.  I have stuff to do but I can not motivate at all for the reasons below:

1. Holiday starts at 1pm tomorrow and I'm off till the 2nd.

2.  Accounting for my vaca time, I have 23.5 days left of work till I leave to have the babies (and probably won't come back)

3.  No one is here to stop by my desk or check on me so why should I do anything?

Re: Anyone else distracted at work?

  • LOL same here Alicia!!! Our office is bare bones this week. I get off tomorrow at 1 or 2 but saddly I have to come back on the 26th. I used up all of my time taking care of my mom.

    Enjoy your time off!

    Should I come by and check on you? he he he
  • LOL! I'm with you!

    But it's hard for me to be motivated anyways because I have no direct reports in Ohio!

    And, of course, like you, I can't stop thinking about how many days I have left before baby! It's getting so close.

    Q: Does all of NW get to get out early? Or is it just your department? I hate deciding when to leave on days like tomorrow since I don't have a boss.

  • Totally...I don't have that much to do right now and I am just waiting for my co-worker to get back to take a walk...then I volunteer tonight, have a bunch of stuff to get done at the house, have a stupid meeting tomorrow morning and then have a work lunch...and then will probably goof off in the office until time to go home! 

    Wow, only 23.5 days?  That's impressive.  :)  What day are you planning on being your last day before having the babies?

     

  • I forgot #4:

    I have to get up so often to either pee or get more water that I can't get anything done anyway.

    Danica- you can come by but I'll just be here on the Nest. :o)

    Buckeyechick - My last day is Feb 1st.  Then I'm putting myself on bedrest.  I'll be 35 weeks.

  • Jody - we are having a Holiday Lunch at 1pm and then get to go home from there.  I think it varies by department at NW.
  • HE HE Alicia!!! I should bring my laptop and we could Nest together. Or we could go get Jody and hang out in Jazzmans. :-)

    Jody - what time you leave tomorrow is dependant on your boss. It's not really a NW policy that says you get out early. Heck if I were you, I'd work from home tomorrow and 'leave' when  you want. :-)
  • Wow, 35 weeks...yeah, I think you'll deserve (if not NEED) bedrest by that point!!!
  • I am so jealous of everyone's holiday lunches and such, since I don't have a department or my company here. I am tucked in NW Bank's Loss Prevention group (basically we just rent a cube for me) and they were nice enough to invite me to their department pot luck on Tuesday :) So, I brought them some cookies today!
  • yeah totally varies by department but most people are gone by 2ish or so... (i'm hoping we get that same deal tomorrow)!

    It is super barebones around here, but I too shall be back on the 26th (used up all the vacation with the wedding)

    just kind of going through the motions of working...
    not fun
  • Jody, you are more than welcome to come to my holiday lunch with my co-workers...it'll be about 8 of us sitting around awkwardly because there are some really socially awkward people in the group, so the rest of us can't be comfortable.  It's just not much fun at all.  Plus we're going somewhere for seafood...and I don't like seafood and there's only one vegetarian dish for my veggie co-worker, too...so we're planning on splitting dessert or something.  lol  I think I'd rather just be at work!!!
  • im actually super focused for once cause i have a lot to get done before i leave. i work all day tomorrow and then come back on the 31st. silly working just monday to have tuesday off, but i'm out of vacation. anyways i had to take a mental break because i've been staring at tiny hot pink dots on my screen for hours! :-P
  • FOR REAL! I'm not even at work (sadly, jobless) and I can't focus! laundry pet the dog nest for an hour move laundry around nest for another hour walk the dog/ obsess about another dog on Petfinder more nest run dishwasher and clean kitchen NEST NEST NEST UGH!
  • I'm pretty focused - I get off at 1:40 today though and I'm working 5-1 tomorrow.  My company was generous and gave us Monday off as a freebie.  I didn't have to use an PTO :)  So next week is only a 3 day work week, followed by another 3 day work week becuase they did the same for New Years Eve/New Years.
  • I can't focus on doing much of anything right now!!  I have a really stressful deal going on with work right now and I just want to throw it out the window and say screw it...too bad the bank account wouldn't like it!! lol
  • hmmm same here-all I can think about is all the stuff I still have to do at home-not much work here and the phone is not ringing-we have 3 jobs for tomorrow and nothing for Monday-yes we have to work Christmas eve and New Years eve-stupid conctruction companies!! Bored bored bored-should work but nesting instead!! I would love to leave early tomorrow since I still have some shopping to get done-planning on going to Prime Outlets Saturday morning which will be a total zoo!! I am glad I do not live to far from there so I can get home in a hurry!! Is it 5 pm yet?!!!!

  • I'm with you!  Everyone seems to be done for the year after today, so tomorrow and next week are going to be even harder!  Danica-I'll join you guys @ Jazzman's too ;)
  • i'm down for jazzmans break next week, as long as their espresso machine is back up *eek* it was down earlier this week
