Candy Time!

So we've got candy comin out our ears here at work. I mean, I can't really complain much cuz I'm the usual culprit... I keep the place stocked in peanut m&m's every morning. But with Halloween just around the corner, everybody else is gettin in on the act, and there is a HUGE cache of candy at every desk in this department. And just about every other department, too. And it's only gonna get worse as Christmas nears.

Oh, for self control. *sigh*

However, the migraine monster actually comes in handy every once in a while, as it definately keeps me from gorging TOO much on crap. I still push it, though. *grin* One of these days I'll actually learn.

I suppose it also helps that I have more than one "mother" here at work. Mom, of course, but I'm also the youngest chica here... the Office Manager's closest to my age, so we're more like cohorts, but the New Girl (I think I'm going to rename her the Office Whisperer, cuz she has this itty bitty voice I can never hear... though her moving right next to my desk has helped tremendously) and The Receptionist have definately taken me under their wing. They're good at reminding me I have to eat lunch, giving unsolicited advice, and alltogether mothering. :) I don't mind much, though, cuz it's really only on a personal level... professionally, they frequently come to ME for help, so it all evens out.

Besides, I fully recognize that THEIR work situations are as much affected by my migraines as I am, so I appreciate their efforts to help me avoid triggers. :)
