Wikipedia says that a worker bee is any female eusocial bee that lacks the full capacity of a reproductive system. Did you know that there are 11 specific jobs done by a worker bee. This is the true meaning of multi tasking folks. I returned to work today after 24 days and was pleased with myself. First and foremost I remembered all my passwords to get into the lovely computer system that I work on, second it only took me 50 minutes to clean up the 267 emails that were overloading my inbox, third I only had to ask a few questions to jog my memory into it's work place. My productivity for the day I thought was fairly good for being off for so long. I worked my eating schedule into my work day quite well. I took my breaks instead of skipping them and did a walk around the building to keep my legs moving. Now this is where the title connects so pay attention...when a worker bee enters the hive it takes awhile for the others to realize she is there but once she is noticed she is surrounded and befriended by the other workers. I have not had that many people talk to me at work in the entire time I have worked there! Many thanks to the people that spoke to me and made me feel a welcomed return. Once I had my computer set up and my emails all cleaned up I started right back into the swing of things just like a worker bee....they keep going and going. As the morning progressed and many people had stopped to say Hi and comment on my weight loss I realized just how much my looks had changed and how much more they will change as I continue to reduce my weight on this journey. Worker Bee bella "G" had to come and get me for a lunch break or I would have totally forgotten all about it since I was so involved in my work (good little bee huh) I sat in the lunch room and had my soup (southwest chicken) and it was really good. Could only eat part of it but I was satisfied with what I ate. When my lunch was done I headed back to my comb or should I say desk. Immersed myself in my work once again and didn't look up until it was 2 minutes before the end of my day. Another coworker asked me "If it was the longest day of my life"....I said "nope, it went by fast". I guess it did for two reasons, One: I like what I do for a living two: I was happy to be back and feel useful. I think that is the worse part about being off for any length of time in which you are limited to what you can and cannot do....bordom and a feeling of uselessness set in and then it is down hill from there. People said that I look so happy and that they can even see a difference in the way I walk. I guess walking isn't as painful as it was since the weight is reducing which definitely makes me a happier person. I could see the regular office busy busy happening and that's what made me think of worker bees...again they are female and multitask like no one's business! What a smart creator we must have! Females are the fabulous multitaskers just take a good look at nature ....and the world. Girl power or should that be "Bee power" to all the worker bees out there. All of you should pat yourself on the back, multitask at work, multitask at home, plus everything else that falls in between those two hives! We are exceptional beings....us ladies!
Bee have
