Congratulations to all of you multi-tasking over-achieving, anal-retentive, can't keep your mouth shut people out there! You've almost made it through another year of high-expectations, pressure, doubt, tears, frustration, impossible deadlines, sleepless nights, writers block, and missed deadlines!
Soon you will have made it through this year, and have the opportunity to opt out of another year of craziness and unrealistic expectations. You could make a new year's resolution to slow down a bit, become more reasonable, measured, plan better, take on less assignments.. But we all know you won't.
Hell, next year the bar will be even higher. Kinko's is open 24/7, which means fed-ex is open 24/7, even you're open 24/7, Hell, even 7/11 is open 24/7... (for those of you who are younger than 30, did you know that 7/11 got it's name because it was open from 7 in the morning until 11 at night? ridiculous huh? not really when you consider that most supermarkets at the time didn't open until 9am and promptly closed no later than 8pm. In the 70's even those hours were crazy. many grocery stores closed by 6:30pm. that's why wives would call their husbands to pick up eggs or milk on their way home, otherwise, it would be too late! You're probaby wondering how people did their shopping if they worked and stores closed at 6:30 well, their wives would do the shopping mid-day like a normal human being. females (respectable ones anyway) didn't work in those days, as much. and if the did, they did their shopping on saturdays, or sundays after chuuuuurch!)
and not only do you have a great new year of even higher expectations to look forward to, but don't forget that great new job with the more money/opportunity, that's an hours drive from your house. Yeah, don't forget to factor in that extra 2 hour bite outta your day on the road, and the extra time you'll need to gas up in the morning.
Here's to YOU! and the wonderful year you had, and the great one you're going to have next year!
