Two weeks ago at the end of the holidays, my 10 year old daughter came to work with me. She had prepared several signs with which to decorate my office - she even made a sign for my door just so people would know for sure if I was at work (I particularly like the picture of the martini glass - wonder why she came up with that one?).

So, she set up shop at my desk and played games on her laptop while I worked. She was very professional and even wanted to stop and buy candy for the office on our way back from lunch. I was surprised she lasted the entire day without getting bored.

Anyway, the reason I’m writing this is this: One day last week I had a particularly difficult day juggling meetings, emails and project work. When I arrived home, I must have expressed my attitude about my day. When I went in to kiss her goodnight she said: “Daddy, I’m surprised you had such a bad day - everyone in your office is so nice!”

Yes they are!
