After the holidays thaw
Published on January 6, 2009 By foreverserenity In Blogging

That's all folks!  Another holiday came and went.....just like that!  Did you have that feeling of "...is that it?" ...."...now that the big day has come...and gone....what now?"

Now it is back to the work day and school days grind!  My kids were rather reluctant to return to school, they just don't see the point of it after all the familial activities!   Mind you, I think it is more like them loving the non-restrictive parental control of their time!

At work yesterday, there were the usual "Happy New Year" greetings and the usual questions of "How was your holidays?", "Did you have fun, what did you get?"  Stories were traded by all about their six-days or two-weeks adventure!  It's amusing how everyone is trying to get their word in, waiting patiently for one person or another to finish their stories!

Then it's back to work...or so we thought!  Somehow, yesterday was one of the longest days yet!  There you are trying to get busy and get work done, but somehow, your mind is not in tune with what you know you should be doing!  The holidays are over...really!  I miss it already!lol!

During the day there were several of those impromptu groups regaling each other with other stories that were forgotten.  Even my boss fell culprit to it for a while.....then his loveable manic-ness returned!

I think today should be better.....

I think the only difference from an ordinary Monday and a Monday after a long holiday break is the number of zombies. Mostly everyone coming off a long holiday is going to be a zombie on that Monday. But with me I'm on a zombie every Monday. So the people who normally aren't zombies that become zombies because of the long break think I wasn't affected since I'm no different from any other Monday.

They actually think I'm crazy and special. As in, "He's not mentally challenged he's special".

In case I haven't said it Donna, Happy New Year. How was your holidays? Did you have fun, what you get?

All this talk of zombies makes me want to watch 'Shaun Of The Dead' again.  But I do know what you mean.  I struggled on Monday as well but thankfully, had a pretty quiet day.

Oh I love that show too!   Yes, Monday was slow, but it's back to normal already!

I agree.  But fortunately for those of us in Support, we do not have the luxury of boredom as we always have a large rash of minor problems.  It makes the day go faster.

That does not mean we are not Zomby-ish, just that we have fresh meat to feast on!
