Do You Believe In Signs That Whisper Inside Your Mind?

Since about lunchtime today, I have had my computer up & running and my brain up & running with work stuff at the forefront of all. I'm tired. But dang if I didn't get a lot of tasks completed... well, at least started. I did take a small break for a walk and a quick trip to the grocery store. But I received IMs even during those breaks (to which I responded as soon as I got back to the screen). So, it was kind of like I was ON the whole time. It's definitely time for a good night's rest.

First thing this morning, Haley told me about the "best Tuesday ever". I believe she heard it on the morning news... perhaps the anchor was having a good morning?! Anyway, so we both attempted to have the "best Tuesday ever". Mine didn't work out so well. Why, ask you? Well, don't fret, of course I'm going to tell you why.

  1. I had to ignore Haley's call (in which she was planning to tell me about the plan for the "best Tuesday ever") because I was on my weekly Tuesday morning useless conference call.
  2. It's March and it's still semi-chilly. I want warm weather again.
  3. The Dominos people gave me breadsticks instead of cinnasticks. (Did I neglect to mention the quick trip to the grocery store included a drop-in to the local Dominos for a carry-out order? Oops.)
  4. I can't seem to feel productive. No matter how many hours I put in, I can't get the big projects... the ones that seem to have been on the to-do list FOREVER... completed.
  5. We're 6 days... scratch that... we're 5 days from the beginning of Open Enrollment (for which I'm partially responsible... but I don't take the blame for not being ready to roll yet... I've made myself available, just can't seem to get all our ducks in a row (as per our usual) as a department). I know it's coming. Looks like another series of long nights getting everything finalized again this year.
  6. I was completely helpless to Haley in her graphic design efforts. At least if I can't get anything done in my job, I like to help Haley finish something!
  7. Yonk's heart attack, Duncan + Kat. What in the hell?

Another ho-hum day. What's up with those lately? Maybe tomorrow will be the "best Wednesday ever". I guess that's the good thing about a calendar that repeats itself every 7 days... another chance. I mean, really, what's the hurry to have the "best ever"? Just regular same old same old is fine, right? U.g.h.

Melanie... Cooper & Kona say to come on over any day now. They will thoroughly enjoy the company on one of their walks. And by "thoroughly enjoy the company", I mean "nip at your ankles, knees, bottom, clothes, etc. while barking incessantly". Obviously, we need the practice.
