It's hot, folks! Sure Is! We're in the Dog Days of Summer and it's not even August yet. It's 100 degrees today and I'm not hating it. There is no snow, ice and frigid temperatures. My A/C is working, flowers are blooming and we have a swimming pool down the street to jump into. It's July and all is well.
As I write this, I'm at The Shack in the new Student Union at the University of Missouri. I'm floating around campus this week while our office is being remodeled. Today, I'm working on budgets...which has proven to be difficult because I keep listening to the conversation at the table next to me.
Here is what I now know...
...the two girls are MU cheerleaders, they are here for the summer while they are trying to get residency, they aren't 21 yet so they are counting the days until they turn 21 (in two years), there is a strange girl living with one of them and while she is their age she looks like she is 40 (gasp) (heehee)...
I need to focus...but those girls definitely make me reminisce about those carefree days of my late teens and early twenties.
But...
Not interested in going back there, though! Thank.You.Very.Much.
I tell you what, getting out of my office this week has been great for my productivity. New workspaces...new people...new views...it's all good to get the creativity flowing. I must remember this when I'm feeling creatively blocked and not producing as much at work as I should in the next few months (because it will happen).
Slow Down Summer....Please....
Jackie
Oh to be young and naive...nope, I take wiser any day. I have no desire to go back either! Good luck with your budgets. It's usually at this point, when my mind has decided that the year has actually changed and I start writing 2012 on my cheques.

I always love it when you pop back up! We are deep into the hazy HOT days of summer here too.
ReplyDeleteisn't it fun listening to the youngins rattling on. i love it and remember it well but i too would not want to go back.
ReplyDeleteHey Jackie! Heck, I remember when I thought 21 was old, let alone 40 :)! Youth is wasted on the young. Enjoy your short "diversion." And I must admit, I am ready for FALL. This heat is more than I can take!
ReplyDeleteGoodness, 100 degrees - that's hot!
ReplyDeleteYou seem very happy in your job at the moment Jackie, long may it continue - ooh I do like a bit of eavesdropping myself ...!
