A Show About Nothing

I returned to work this morning after a full week off. It’s been over 2 years since I have been gone that long. Usually we take long weekends here and there but never a full week. I really needed to get away to decompress and the time off did me a lot of good.

I stayed around the house all week and had a long list of things I wanted to get done. I finished my home-built computer, watched a ton of movies, washed the cars and basically piddled around doing a lot of nothing. It was a very relaxing, lazy week for me and I loved it.

But after 5 minutes back into work this morning, it was like I never left. People were waiting at my desk as I walked in. I literally had 15 users with life or death issues that needed help immediately. It’s nice to feel needed but SHEESH.

The worse part is I didn’t get to read the paper, have coffee or take my morning nap. Aren’t there union rules about this kind of treatment? Ha.

Maybe I could start doing yoga or something to de-stress after work. Remind me to ask my therapist at my appointment tomorrow.
