One Mo' Time

To The Mines!

I've been away from the office for a whole week. I must say it has been delicious.

But Sunday evening as the shadows grow and the sunlight fades, I'm Mack-trucked by the thought of what awaits:

* hundreds of emails, half of them spam
* phone messages from folks who didn't pay attention to the 'out of office' speech
* staff cuts forcing my shrinking crew to do double duty
* empty cubicles sitting as mute reminders of those cuts
* a simpering yes-man boss and cunning senior management
* soul-crushing politics, which is why I needed the vacation in the first place

Back to the salt mines and I'm curling into a ball. Obviously, my Lexapro ain't doing the trick.
