Today is "Bring Your Child To Work Day" at my workplace.
This morning when I walked in, both of the guards (the one in the parking lot, and the one at the building), both asked, "No kids?"
Geez, I didn't think I looked *that* old. When I said that I was single and had no kids, both guards seemed embarrassed. I kind of thought it was funny.
Maybe I gotta start wearing my hair down at work or something!
A collection of my thoughts, daily anecdotes, ideas, and musings.

Or you could rent a kid for the day. :)
Hahahaha! I'm not so sure about that. . . .
Update: When I left work this afternoon the guard at the parking lot asked me, "No children?"
Hilarious. I stopped to talk to him for a bit, and after I explained that I was single with no children, he said, "Someone would be lucky to have you!"
Aw!
Hmmm... maybe you should look into what that guard is all about! ;O) My kid stays at work with me every single day! I cherish the times I can actually get a break! LOL
Haha! Now you're being funny Jules! :)
Some people can work at home really well; they just have a place that's their office or whatever, and they don't let their household bother them when they're working. I don't know if I could work from home. There's something really nice about physically being away from the office.
Dont' feel bad. Every mother's day that I worked at quality, it never failed that someone would say "Happy Mother's Day" to me. And the befuddled look on my face always makes them say. "What? Dont' tell me your kids forgot." I guess I look that old too...and I'm a tad younger than you...lol...pretty silly. Maybe we'll get lucky and when we actually do have children we'll look younger than we apparently do now :) That's what I'm shootin' for lol
Hi Theresa!
Maybe they think we're good "mom" material. :P
I don't know; I still think I look like I'm in my mid-20s, and the youngest age you can bring your kids to work is 7. That means I'd have to be 20 when I theoretically had my first kid, and how can I do that if I'm going to school to get my awesome job to begin with?
At this rate, I'll be lucky to even be able to buy a house for my non-existent babies. It's way past time to find me a sugar daddy. :P
