The past few months have been pretty rough. Some of it you have read here. But last week I took a trip out of town.
Let me tell you, that was a great decision, because I have decided to become a duck. No, it is not a career move, but a stance.
I will not let things bring me down, they will roll of my back. I had been unhappy with work and had let it affect me. I was starting to feel like a prisoner. I am in this hotel, because I am at work. I am in this car, because I am at work. I am at this restaurant, because I am at work. Every decision is dictated by the fact that I am stuck in Indianapolis for work.
So the family and I went to visit some friends over thanksgiving. We got a little R&R, and feel recharged.
So everyone else is stressed out for work. Not, me. You can't bring me down.
People getting mad at me. OK, but you can't bring me down.
I have to go to two stupid company Christmas parties, but they won't bring me down, because I AM A DUCK.
I've got Christmas music on the headphones. The "a Christmas Story" movie showing at a local theatre this week end. I am taking vacation for a couple of weeks at the end of the year. I will not let anything bring me down, no matter how hard you try for these next 17 days.
I hope you had a good Thanksgiving, I sure did.

This can be a stressful time of year and as long as your not THE duck in "A Christmas Story" (or is that a Christmas Goose at the Chinese restaurant?) letting stuff roll off your back and not get you down is the best strategy-- coupled with putting the focus on others.
ReplyDeleteI saw your comment about a "local theater" running that movie in Franklin, IN. Revisited your Intense Debate profile and found your blog.
Basically I just wanted to stop by and give you greetings from a fellow Hoosier down Evansville way.
Carefull, my short, fat and bald friend. 'Tis a fine line between not letting things bring you down and becoming complacent with a less-than ideal situation. Next thing you know, your desk has been moved to the basement and your wondering what happened to you Swingline...
