Yikes! Did everyone just wake up from the big sleep? Only two work days into the new year and I am crawling to the finish line of the day. Not that I am complaining, I am thrilled to have the work. Isn't that what we are all supposed to think in this economy even when we are cranky about all we have to do in a day?
I have been thinking that there is a good chance there is a camera in my office and people are trying to see how long before I lose it. Do all my clients check in with each other and scheme to call me at the same moment? Oh, and my mother too? Hey everyone, at 5:04 on the dot, call Amy with something 'that can't wait'. Funny, even people I can never get on the phone and a client I have not heard from in months all surfaced today.
There was a point during the day today when I realized I had been meaning to go the bathroom for over an hour and never got the chance. Don't worry, no accidents, not that old yet!
It is always funny to me that people can go from being so lazy to productive on overdrive with the turn of the yearly calendar page. The same people who did not take off their slippers and sweatpants for 48 hours straight are now marching through work transferring things from their to do lists to mine at break neck speed.
Honestly I am old hat at this pace, I can handle it. Sort of.
Until someone asks that most dreaded question of all,
"What's for dinner?"
My answer? "I'm not up to that yet?"
So what if it is 7PM, we like to eat late, don't we?
My family stopped asking me that when they realized the only answer they were going to get is "Whatever you're making" followed by the realization that THEY were now officially in charge of dinner.
We ate a lot of PB&Js and mac n' cheese until the kids (husband would BBQ) finally caught on and quit asking me.
