Quote of the day:
"Do not be afraid of life. Believe that life is worth living, and your belief will help create the fact."
~ William James (1842 - 1910), American Philosopher and Psychologist
What makes a week, especially a work week, "long"? And why is that perception unexpected shared not just with office mates or even folks who work closely together online, but with others further away or even complete strangers? I can understand if my co-workers agree with me, after all, they are working in the same environment. But to hear the same plaint from elsewhere makes me wonder what is going on. No, being busy does not always make the time go faster. In fact those are the worst days when you are functioning at warp speed but the clock seems to be in a time warp of its own!
And yet, despite the fact that this particular week feels like it has stretched on forever, making last weekend a remote memory, I find it rather appalling to realize July is just about over
