workaday Monday

Back to work! I have very little recollection of what I was working on last week, but hey, that’s what notes are for. (I’m counting on you, past self!)

Lots of people try to take the day off before or after a long weekend, which I totally get! But I think the day before a holiday weekend is one of the *best* times to be at work, because nobody else is; expectations are low, and there’s a sense of ‘all of us who showed up share a bond now.’ The day after a holiday weekend is when everyone spends all day “catching up” on their emails, which I am pretty sure is code for ‘figuring out what I was working on last week.’ If I took an extra day, I’d be doing that on Tuesday, when everybody else was already caught up, and I’d feel behind.

Plus, I’m totally planning to put up Christmas lights at my desk today, so that’s something to look forward to.
