There are days that seem like they go by in the blink of an eye, and then there are days that seem endless. If you are a busy person like me, it probably crosses your mind at some point that if you simply recorded all of the things you did -- the meetings, conversations, emails, projects, phone calls, checklist items checked off, shopping, errands, and do-for-others tasks that happened in a day -- you could fill a book. All in one day.
A lot of my days are like that, and today was a doozy. It was one of those days where I felt like I had plates spinning. Many of them. And as soon as I got three or four of them going, someone would stop by my desk, or I could get a text from one of my kids, or my phone would ring and it was someone I actually needed to talk to. When that interruption was done, I would look at all the spinning plates, and they were wobbling.
At one point, one of my coworkers tried for the fifth or maybe tenth time that day to answer a simple question with a long explanation, and I simply told him to shut his pie hole. “Why does every single question result in a long winded answer?” I asked him. “I’m asking you for a date, and you’re telling me why things are delayed and lengthy descriptions of the personalities involved in the project. That is not an answer to “when do you think that will be done?”
I may be losing my mind.
That said, I did get out for a nice little walk this evening! Here is a picture i grabbed of clouds and setting sun.
Thank you for visiting my blog, and for letting me rant!
