The beat goes on…

Oh, Bounce, i still can't change my mind from the holidays I don't greet the others, but i'm in mood to be lazy, to cook simple dishes, to not clean a lot and i even didn't start my real online job, which wants too much attention. Instead of that i spend nearly whole day here enjoying discussions. I don't know why is that, may be the last year was one of the most hard years i have behind me, but i'm still in holidays mood and i am late with my normal schedule. Anyway, i have to start soon because nothing good expect me with that attitude. What i do is to say myself - still there is time to your first payment for the month, so you got around 10 or little more days to change your earnings...

i know what you mean. at work, we were shut down for the week between Christmas and new years and just started back yesterday and you are right.

I suppose everyone was pretty much straight back into routine..lol...I didn't notice any holiday hangovers but we don't get a lot of time off this time of year. People didn't have alot of time to party...now July 4th may be a different story.

Really the only adaptation that I had to make with the back to work/back to school thing was that I had to make sure that Kathryn was able to get up in the mornings to get to school and after having had her at home for a total of 18 days and the week before Christmas break started they had a snow day and also a delayed start to a school day, it was kind of a difficult adjustment to make. However, after the first day it wasn't too bad at all. Now if we can just make it through the last 93 days of the school year.

Could it be because the holidays landed on the the weekends thus affording many more the extra time off of work. So being away for the extra day perhaps gave time to cool off the hang overs and be a bit rested from the grouchy moods.

I know exactly what you mean, as of right now there are still people on vacation, some have called in sick and the ones in the office are still in the celebration lazy mood. I mean don't take me wrong we are doing what we are suppose to be doing, but we still have the mentality of vacationing and taking that small break again. Our brain still hasn't fully accepted the fact that we are back to work. Normally by the second week of January everyone is back to work and in full mode routine and working capacity.

hi bounce just imagine retirement like one perpetual holiday without the nice bonus of a pay check. I got so teed off at life without a job to go to that I found mylot and began to make some wonderful friends whom I really do care about and earned money while doing it. I have become a mylotaholic for sure. OH and I learned once again that making new friends from all over the world is just so gratifying its unbelievable. So many Americans like myself love meeting people from all over but we have no funds with which to travel. now we just hit our keyboards and off we go to Malaysia or Borneo or Thailand or Scotland or England or Greece. and on and on al over this small world after all. The song is right.It is getting to be a small world because the net brings us all together. Some of my friends are very special people with their own burdens but they do shoulder on.I have learned so much from all them and I hope maybe I have also helped them too.
