Work

We have had a week of all settling back into school. Our little girl did great in her first few days of Primary Two. Such a change from the trauma of last year. The littler boy was just delighted to be back at nursery. He could not get there quick enough. And me? I think I might still be jet lagging. Maybe, in truth, I am just lagging!! Work was not a problem. I am fortunate to really enjoy my work and I am still just doing two days a week. It is the whole getting routines going again that seemed to be the problem. I did manage to get everyone to the right place with the right clothes on, and snacks and lunches packed, but it did feel a huge effort. This week will see me full of oomph, I am sure.

I was given "Change the world 9 to 5" from Sarah for my birthday. Remember "Change the world for a fiver?". Well this book is full of things we can all be doing while at work to make a difference and make folks smile. So Idea 86.... Avoid waste. If each of the UK's ten million office workers used one less staple a day, 120 tonnes of steel would be saved every year. I will not be able to look at a staple in the same way again. Who in the world worked that out?
