Distracted!

Today is my company's open house for our new office. When I started, we were located in a cute part of town, in a very old building where we kind of had make-shift "offices." While it was fun, and "eclectic," we were happy to upgrade in July. Now, we're away from the excessive traffic, and right by the river...where I'm noticing the view gets better and better as the fall leaves change! Now that we've been here for 3 months (yeah, it takes us awhile to plan a party....in fact, I think this was the first year we actually had our summer party before it snowed) we do know how to have a good time.

Because of the party planning, I'm not doing very well at staying billable this week (which is not so good, in my line of work...). I have spent many hours getting ready for a big presentation I have to make next week, and spent most of yesterday shopping for office accessories with one of my coworkers! How can I help it that we have good taste? I mean, SOMEONE had to decorate! :) So now, I'm 13 minutes away from the start of the open house (i.e. schmooz-fest), and I can't seem to make myself do any work of value. Instead, I enjoyed my first Starbucks Doubleshot (in the little cans...and my goodness, how do they get 140 calories and so much deliciousness in such a small can), blogging, thinking about how much I don't like wearing tights, and trying to figure out what kind of picture I want to hang on the wall in my office. Here's to a productive week! :)
