Today was my first day back to work in several months.

I actually returned to the employer I previously worked for since 2001 so I already know the people and the job. That aspect of it was quite comfortable. I received so many hugs and welcome backs from everyone and it made me feel really good to know that I was missed.

The day started off really weird. I was hearing everyone talk but it was like I wasnt really there. Hard to explain but by the end of the day I was printing reports and getting ready for my work day tomorrow.

I am in my old position of Senior Account Rep but this time, instead og overseeing 4/5 people I only oversee 3 which I like. 2 of them I previously worked with but 1 is brand new to the company and she seemed really nice.

All new employees are supposed to receive a 2 hour orientation but mine lasted 5 minutes because I was a previous employee. Basically they gave me a stack of papers and told me to turn them in by the end of the week. Nice welcome Back

They never de-activated my employee status on the time clock so that was pretty cool. I still have issues with the way we have to punch in. We have to place our hand on a screen and that clocks us in. I used to get really freaked out about touching it after other people because I was afraid of the germs but today I was less afraid and less grossed out, but, I still keep my Purell with me

It all seems pretty much the same with the exception of a few new faces. The Head of the company has decided to retire but has given no date for that yet. They have hired his replacement and we are told it is a women, which I am really pleased with.

I am exhausted now. Not that I did that much today but getting back to work after an extended period of time is really tough. I am eager to get my life back....to a certain extent that is.

Thanks for listening.
