Work is ...

The Nugget knows I work for the Red Sox and if you ask her why I go to work every day she will likely tell you "dad had to pay the bills". The other day she was taking a keen interest in what exactly I did at work. I tried to explain the life of an HR guy to an almost 5 year old. I said, "well, I help people get jobs and I help them learn how to do their jobs better." She told me that didn't sound very exciting. I stretched the truth a bit and even though payroll is technically in finance, I told her that I also help people get paid their money. She lot up and said, "well now that sounds interesting. She continues to ask me about work and every time I start to explain something such as, "I go to meetings...", she cuts me off and says "BORING!" I guess it's good that even though she thinks my work is boring she and her brother both love the office and one of my coworkers (see attached picture).
