In my last weeks at work before my daughter was born , my sense of the future became strangely warped.We would have meetings at the office about what we were doing in the next month or two , and it all seemed so silly.As I told my co-workers , but that will happen after the End , meaning the end of this life , and the beginning of a whole new life.But my plans for my new life still included work.

I tried everything in my search for a babysitter for my first-born.
