Small things



Connor in the park today - He loved the stairs behind him

 I'm starting to feel more comfortable at work and am starting to settle into a routine. A few things I really love about my office is that they provide a variety of fruit (apples, bananas, pears, kiwis, oranges, to name a few), fresh milk, bowls, plates, cups, silverware, coffee and tea every day.  A person comes in a few times a day to put the dirty dishes in the dishwasher and restock the clean tableware.  I brought a box of cereal to store in the cupboard and eat that every morning.  Its really nice that they provide all of those things for us and it is easier for me to eat breakfast in the morning. 

My Company also lets its employees take a half day on Friday during the summer months if they have worked all their required hours. So, for the two Fridays I have been at work, I have been leaving around 2 pm.  Both Fridays have been gorgeous and sunny so its been a nice treat.  

There was a happy hour that I went to yesterday and it was a lot of fun.  I met a few more work people and all the skeletons in the closet about our office definitely came out last night.  I left around 11pm and I was one of the first ones to leave.  It was still packed and in full swing when I left. I guess these things go on until 4 AM sometimes. 

I have been eating lunch in the Iveagh Gardens next to my office a few times.  It is a beautiful park and reminds me of the parks in Paris because it has stone paths, fountains, a rose garden, and statues. 

I am happy that it is Friday.  We are going to check out the Temple Bar farmer's market and the Kildare Outlet this weekend.  And hopefully relax a little too. 

Here are some pictures of Connor in a park next to his creche with stairs - he is obsessed with going up and down stairs right now and pictures of the park next to my office.  Unfortunately, it was an overcast day when I took these.

Iveagh Gardens - too bad its overcast. Today there were throngs of people because it was so sunny. There is a waterfall all the way in the back.
