Back to work: week 2

Today was my first real day of work, meaning I actually worked the 6 hour shift that I will be working every Monday.  I will be working 9:30 to 3:30 every Monday and Tuesday and then 9:00 to noon on Saturdays.  Today I sat with one of my former coworkers and listened to her take calls.  It was nice catching up with her.  She showed me some things that have changed since I left but for the most part it seems like it will be pretty easy for me to step right back in.  Tomorrow I will probably be the one taking calls with Tammy listening and helping.  Then Saturday I should already be on my own.  I'm not nervous at all, which is very different from how I felt when I started this job the first time.

Emmett did pretty well today, but I could definitely tell he missed me.  When I got back and picked him up he was obviously glad to see me.  But when I put him down so I could go to the bathroom, he got pretty upset.  He was tired though, because he wouldn't take his afternoon nap for Nana.  I sure hope that me going back to work doesn't cause him to start having separation anxiety.  He has not shown any signs of that before now, and I'm still not sure that's what it is because he doesn't care when I leave in the morning.  I think he always just assumes that I'll be right back like usual, except sometimes I'm not, and he may be noticing that that's happening more often lately.  I'm trying not to worry about it.  I know this is good for him and I know that he will be fine.

And just like I remember it, after staring at a computer screen for 6 hours during the day, I find that I've had enough.  I apologize in advance if going back to work causes my blog to suffer.
