Good golly jeebus, I never thought getting back to work after a week off would be this difficult. I have surely had longer periods of time off and didn't feel quite this apathetic and lazy about the whole thing. But today hit me like a ton of bricks and here I sit wishing the day away.
I had 324 emails to read this morning. Not exaggerating.
I had 29 voice messages left even though the callers were informed I was out of the office for the week.
I had 13 Post-its on my desk with various notes left for me by my staff.
I had a five inch tall pile of paperwork in my in-box requiring my attention and/or signature.
Given that my get up and go done got up and went weeks ago, I have neither the gumption nor the ambition to tackle any of this today. But I must. So I'm working on a second pot of coffee and mustering what little verve I can to get something - ANYTHING - done today. I know that my general lack of whoopdy doo for work right now is due to the fact that this job and this little care management unit is not long for this world. I'm having a hard time feeling enthusiastic knowing it's all for naught. Anyway, I'll put another log on the fire under my ass and hopefully that will get me motivated. At least until the end of the day...
