Cannot Concentrate…


I am all over the place today. I cannot concentrate on the tasks I need to get done. Even when one of those tasks involves a deadline given to me by the President of our company. It’s not that I don’t want to do a good job. I just don’t want to do a good job today. Tomorrow would work better for me. Perhaps then, I’ll be focused.

 I’m distracted by the fact that it’s a blizzard outside my window. I’m distracted by the fact that it is also freezing outside today and the fact that I still have 2 and a half months to go before I leave on vacation…to a WARM destination. I’m distracted by conversations down the hallway, by the sound of the snow hitting my window and the smell of a freshly brewed pot of coffee coming from the corporate kitchen. I’m distracted by everything and everyone.

I know when it’s a lost cause – I’m off to wander aimlessly amongst my daydreams. Tomorrow is another day and I’ll start fresh then.

Just distract yourself by wandering around the blogosphere... you're sure to find something to bring a smile to your face and warm you up, a wandering octopus perhaps? Come see! ;o)

Today is Blue Monday (in the UK anyway), supposedly the most depressing day of the year (if you listen to all the travel firms trying to make us all book trips away).

Sounds as if you are on a Blue Monday too!

It is shorts and t-shirts again today, no shoes. Have you been to the Florida Keys?

January Blows...

The Holidays are behind us for another year, the parties are over and the decorations have been put away. Now what? Apart from some indoor exercise, maybe the odd movie, some reading, an afternoon nap on the weekend and perhaps some weight loss, there is nothing to look forward to in the short term. The Holidays are a bit of a let-down in that respect. So much hype and then when the excitement suddenly stops, I’m left feeling lost – like I’ve forgotten to do something. I usually like to complain about the winter weather in January, but I can’t even do that because it hasn’t been that bad… yet. It’s been cold, but we have certainly been lacking in the snow department. I know winter will arrive and then I’ll have LOTS to keep my “bitter meter” ticking, but until then, what’s a girl to do?

Q&A With Myself...

Today is an anniversary of sorts… Today marks my 2 nd anniversary at my current place of employment.   Over the last 2 years, I’ve had some  a lot of spare time to reflect upon the career path that I’ve chosen and what wrong turns have lead me to the cube where I sit today. I’m not happy with some of the choices I’ve made, but I’m not going to dwell on those – life’s too short .   Each wrong turn has led me to something different, some new experience.   I’ve met some great people, others that aren’t so great and those who should be forgotten, but sadly are etched upon my soul.  I’ve learned some things along the way and have laughed at myself and others while doing whatever it is that I do.   I question whether I should have become a sell out and an ass kisser, but realize that I just don’t have what it takes.  I like being able to hold my head high and know that I’ve gotten to where I am in life by being honest – with myself and others.
