Came back to work Monday.  Had a great two plus weeks away from work.  Feel guilty about not wanting to be here.  Haven’t fully shaken the sever case of “Sunday-itis” that left me awake some of the night before the return on Monday. 

I’ve never been one to do things in half-measures.  I drink or I don’t (haven’t touched alcohol since 1987).  I smoke or I don’t (gave up the fags in 1990).  I exercise or I don’t (have two wardrobes - am currently wearing the “in shape” set of clothes).

So Sunday I dreaded the 110% energy required to get the job done.  Then I had a thought - What if I approached the job with measured energy?  How about a sane, rational approach to work. 

Then I laughed. 

Sorry - with me it’s all black or white, on or off, yes or no.  I can’t do things with half the approach.  That’s me.

So it’s back to work - and it’s okay, because in Australia many business people are still on holidays.  So while I’m at 110% that gets applied against the 40% of the workforce now in the office.

Happy new year!
