I have three ducks, male ducks to be exact, that come by my office for a little bite, or a snack. They visited us last Spring also. Not sure where the girl ducks are (I don't ask) but they come every day to visit.
They quack when they see me drive up, they circle around the door when I am there. They even rap the door with their beaks when they are irritated with me for not feeding them quick enough. Oh....and they leave the nicest 'droppings' for me right in front of the front door.
I look forward to them coming by in the morning...they even take naps after their snack time with me, under a tree right near my office. I get to run from place to place and they take nice little naps...the ducks are a nice little distraction when you don't want to work.
Maybe it's spring fever, maybe it's a real fever, but I find myself easily distracted these days at the office. I am at 4 1/2 years in business....and it is seriously starting to wear on me.
Now, don't worry I am not becoming Debbie Downer, however I am starting to wonder what can I do next? What should I do next? What do I want to do next? I literally can visualize Anthony Michael Hall from the Breakfast Club with a pen clipped to his lip mumbling, "Who am I? Who am I? I'm Wally the Walrus...." I love that movie!!
Burn out hits every January, I have come to expect it. March? Still burnt out at the end of March? Maybe it is not burnt out so much as easily distracted......it's like I have senoritis (remember that? it was like your given right to cut school and go to the beach or prom dress shopping....or drink beer at the tanks, oh sorry that was MY senior year) Or it could be that my daughter is nearing the end of nursery school, I had to refinance the house to pay for two sets of summer camp for the kids.....and the weather here is gorgeous, maybe I just want a vacation.
Well, at least we are doing an 'upgrade' to our web sites, that ought to cheer me up. Something new and shiny (preferably diamonds, but this will have to do) always makes me happy. Don't get me wrong, I am not unhappy....just not sure what to do next...
There was a song that was out when I was pregnant with my son ('99) and it was about a bar closing and drunks going home with someone....but it resonated with me, uh maybe because I was not drinking and an emotional basket case, NO, NO it was this lyric....
Every new beginning comes from some other beginnings end....
Don't sweat it! Been there, done that and bought the T-shirt! You want to borrow it?
