I am always amazed by folks when they say TGIF. It's 2:00 p.m. on a Friday. I have a meeting with a few people near the end of the day. But then it gets quiet in my office and I get a third wave of energy -- the next thing I know-- its 7:30 p.m. and dark. My thoughts of going to the store on the way home are now gone. I can push out one more email to someone-- make one more phone call-- sign one more thank you letter.
It's sad to think about my work/life balance because it is really Fridays when I actually get out of the office at a decent time. I have not learned to transfer my Friday schedule to Monday through Thursdays.
One of my favorite cartoons is PINKY and the BRAIN.. In it-- the Brain's plan was to take over the world everyday. And I believe that drives me to my third wave of energy at 2:00 p.m. I must take over the world and it does not matter -- but some how on Friday-- I can give myself a stopping point of 7:30 p.m. instead of 10:30 p.m.
