Time to stretch, wake up, and reset the alarm clock
School will soon be back in session folks. As usual, I set lofty goals for break, and haven't quite reached all of them. That is to be expected though. If I do everything that I want to do, then I must not be setting my goals high enough, right? Or...somewhere deep down I realize that vacation is a time to relax, so I do what I truly need to do and save the monster projects for another day.
It kind of feels like I'm going back to school tomorrow because of work. My job is part office work, part phone stuff, and part court. Lately it's been all office and phone for me, so it feels a little scary and jarring to go back to court, which I'll be doing tomorrow. Part of me wants to whine, because court means getting up really early, involves putting on clothes other than jeans (the office is super casual), and means more uncertainty. I have to be more on my toes, more empathetic, more professional. Things don't always go as planned. Court often puts me a little outside of my comfort zone, which is a good thing, because then I remember why I'm doing this in the first place---to help people and to learn. Neither of those things are necessarily easy.
