ROW80: Back to Work

Well my holiday is over and the office has returned to my life.

Don't you love that relaxed feeling you have after a holiday. Don't you hate it when after 15 minutes back in the office that feeling has gone, and you feel just as stressed as before you went away.

In total I had almost 1800 emails waiting for me after but a week and a half away. This, coupled with the visit of my number 1 client today and tomorrow means I will not actually be behind my desk to begin working my way through the emails until Friday.

I had managed to sort through them yesterday and filter out the junk and items that had been taken care of for me, but still I have more than enough sitting there to keep me more than busy. Thus removing my lunch breaks from me for the rest of the week and ridding me of my chance to write.

I also have two children with horrible colds and I think the eldest is also coming down with it. (Me too but that doesn't count.) Needless to say writing will not be my number one priority this week (as much as it pains me to admit it) so I will just do my best to get whatever done that I can and hope for a better run next week.

I hope that all of you are having a more productive week and if not, keep your chin up. Next week will bring clearer skies and smoother waters, and just don't forget that even 10 words written is 10 words closer to the goal. That is not nothing. We should be proud of every word we get down and it is these difficult times that allow us to prove to ourselves just how badly we want it.
