Before I get too deep into this blog let me say that I realize that I will not be "off" and doing my own thing with no responsibilities for the next 3 months. I get it, I'll be taking care of a baby. With that disclaimer, let me get to the meat of this blog:
Today was weird. When you go on vacation there is tons of stuff that you don't hand off because it can wait, when you are going to be gone for 3 months things just can't wait that long. For the last month I have spent my time finishing up every outstanding project, issue, phone call that I owed and all other items that required my action. At the end of today I had no Peoplesoft worklist items, ZERO emails in my inbox, no outstanding Outlook tasks.
I left the office feeling great! I feel confident that everything that could have been finished, has been. I also feel really grateful that I work with such great people who always take care of business whether I am there or not. You all rock! Thanks for giving me the peace of mind that I can be off and not have to worry!!!! You're the best!

While you are "off" can I hire you to manage my inbox?
So jealous! However I also left work today with ZERO emails in my Inbox! I consider that quite the accomplishment given that I'm only going to be at a global sales meeting next week in Vegas.
What a feeling of peace and awkwardness!
(But it is always feels weider going back to work. I always forget all my passwords.)
Hey, I will have my baby during your maternity leave!
A. I am up at 4:15am because I can't sleep. Is this a pg side effect???
B. I commend you on a job well done of getting everything completed prior to your maternity leave.
C. I LOVE the white board. The flowers are adorable!
We will miss you at work Kim.
Enjoy your time with Sydney, Kim. Before you know it you'll be back to work - and hopefully she'll be sleeping by then! :o)
