I am working during their move. I thought it would be "fun". I haven't been this wrong in quite awhile.
They were supposed to move at the end of October ~ then the end of November ~ (you guess it) then the end of December. The dentists finally said enough and told the contractors they are moving in at the end of January. I went over to the new office on Monday and was horrified. They are still doing electrical work, plumbing, painting, installing doors...and probably other things I have forgotten. As I looked around I thought that there is a snowballs chance in hell all this will be done in one week. And we're supposed to see patients too. Nope. I can't see it. I hope I am wrong, because both of the docs are super stressed out over all the setbacks. I suggested to the OM that we cancel the hygiene appointments for Monday, but she said we can't because there's no where to put them. Really? That's your big worry? Hmmmmmm
I am not stressed, but bored. After packing stuff up (which took only about 5 hours) there's nothing much else to do. The phone barely rings, but that is because the patients know we're moving. The OM keeps trying to suggest we all come late and leave early. The only issue I have with that is I need to earn that $$ for my trip. I do try to find ways to be productive though. I am so ready to be retired again. I never missed working. I know there are those that really loved their jobs, and miss them. Not me. I feel I've earned the opportunity to do what I want with my time, and life is too short.
I did get my new carry-on (which looked so incredibly small), and had a practice session on packing it. Thankfully it went very well...hopefully I will be able to lift it into the overhead. Right now it's 16 pounds, but I didn't put everything in. Just wanted to see if I could fit my clothes and knickers in and have room for the other stuff.
Tomorrow is the last day of work for the week. I assume we are taking packed stuff over to the new office. We also need to confirm the patients for Monday, as Friday is the day the computers and phones are to be moved over. Fingers crossed.
Love, 365
That trip is getting so close!!! It looks like you'll be in Athens on April 30. My brother is arriving from Australia on the 27th and we will be away up north sightseeing till May 4. At least that's what we have booked so far. I will keep you informed. It would be such a pity if don't meet!!
