Snowy Monday

Every time I look out the window, it seems that the snow has taken on a different consistency. Right now, the flakes are big and fluffy again. They’ve been hyping this storm for days, but the truth is that no one has a clue how much snow is coming. Hopefully, this time they can report the right amounts that are on the ground. The storm before last had one of the area meteorologists reporting live on the news that there was going to be able 1/2 inch of snow total when I could clearly look out my window and see more than 4 times that much already on the ground. 😛 I mean, come on, how much does it take to a least take a peek out of a window before you go live and make yourself look like a fool?

Anyway, I’m so distracted that I can’t seem to focus on much of anything today. Little tasks are great because I can actually concentrate for just long enough to finish them and then I’m stuck again. There aren’t many people here, of course. And I don’t want to go looking for work because I’m afraid that once I kick back into high gear, I’ll find 101 things that need my attention. And I’d rather not load my plate with 100 more things just because I can’t focus long enough to figure out what I need to do right now.

But, hey, I’ve gotten enough done that I don’t feel like a total waste of space. Just a little bit of one. And I haven’t sunk to the level of playing games at work. I just keep looking out the window to see if the snow is sticking to the roadways yet so I have an excuse to go home early. At least I could read a leadership book from home and feel like I was actually accomplishing something. I just knew I should have brought that book with me today! The funny thing is that is exactly why my dad said he sent the book to me instead of waiting until they come down in a couple of weeks. He included a note about reading on a snowy day… how prophetic. Maybe I’ll still go home a little early and spend some time in the reading room, watching the snow fall and reading Dale Carnegie’s “How to Win Friends and Influence People.”
