I hate the Post-Holiday blues.
Actually, I’m not much of a fan of the holidays to begin with. Christmas is not exactly my first choice in terms of what I’d like to celebrate. Don’t get me wrong, I like what the holiday is supposed to stand for. I like Christmas, I just don’t like Christmas (TM). New Year’s usually doesn’t go as planned, and I find myself more often than not reflecting on the travesties and tribulations of the previous year, and “planning” the upcoming year. Of course, by planning, I mean “Dammit, I’m not going to spend the entire year depressed over what I didn’t get done this last year.”
Of course, you know what they say about how you spend your New Year’s Eve.
I’ve had two and a half weeks off from work for the Christmas break. I start back on Thursday, and it bodes not well. I’m not sure I’m going to remember where my office is, let alone what it is I’m supposed to be doing. I expect the first half hour I’ll be staring at my monitor thinking “Hmmmm. I know I was working on some important stuff a while back. I wonder what it was.” I plan on drinking lots of coffee that morning.
In the meantime, I haven’t done 1/10th of what I planned to do during my vacation. Instead, I slept a lot, played some video games, and generally wasted away the hours given to me. But I feel rested and recharged, I suppose. I also feel overwhelmed by all of the crap that I still need to do.
Anyway, just some general ramblings from 5:00 in the morning since I can’t sleep.
