I am really having a hard time focusing today. Does anyone else have that problem?
Oh yes... work seems twice as long today, it's going to be a long week until Friday at noon.
Most definitely.
In fact, I have given up. I am intending to do as close to nothing as possible until January 2d.
I'll answer the phone and respond to emails, but other than that I am coasting in neutral.
Pretty day here in MA. Light snow.. I think I'll make some hot chocolate
I'm not writing, but I am working - washing clothes, washing floors, wrapping gifts.....need I say more?
It's hard to enjoy the holidays when you are stuck at work. Think happy thoughts.
It's actually kind of weird for me, because I am not working at all right now. However, I worked every Christmas eve for 15 years, noon until 8 p.m. And, then had to be back at work at 4 a.m. the morning after Christmas for the big day after Christmas sales.
This Christmas holiday is actually the first I have not worked in 20 years, because I worked through the 2009 Christmas rush, and lost my job just a month later. (Typical of the company I worked for) So, I am very glad that I won't have to do it this year.
But, there isn't really that much that I plan to do anyways, other than eat a lot, and watch television. I might go out for New Years Eve. I haven't done that in a while.

bankrupting the United States? Before the advent of mass welfare, people worked and made their way in life. No job was too degrading to do as long as it put food on the table, clothes on one's back, and a house to live in. People were PROUD and GLAD to work and be independent! The advent of...
