Nothing Like A Poke In The Eye, Either

There’s nothing quite like coming back after a long weekend.  That’s not necessarily a bad thing

We hope everyone enjoyed your Memorial Day long weekend.  With any luck, it was complete with barbecues, parades, being outside, maybe a little swimming, and taking a little time to observe the true spirit of the holiday as well.  

But, we're done with all of that, it's back to work, slackers!  

So, yeah...after four days off, the alarm clock waking me up in time to get to work was anything but a welcome addition to my routine.  I had enjoyed getting up when I darn well felt like it, making a leisurely breakfast (or getting a bagel that one morning I went out on the road), not having anywhere to be.  You know...vacation stuff.  

Today, it's back to meetings and emails and telecons and spreadsheets and deadlines.  There's really no feeling quite like that on the morning that you come back from vacation.  That's a good thing.  If more things felt like that magical combination of dread and whining, life would be a little sad.  As it is, once you get settled back into your routine, you're pretty much okay.  It's just that first morning that makes you wish you were still on vacation.  

But you're not, so get back to work!
