Slow Start

While media promotes the ideal of "New Year, New Me!", giving advice on how to optimise yourself, mind, body and all and how to jump into the new year full of energy, reality at the office (at least mine) is very different in the first post-Christmas-vacation work week in January. Everybody's attitude, my own included, is more like "physical presence must suffice for now, I'll start FOR REAL next week, okay?" It's incredible how fast you fall into the lazy vacation groove and how quickly you forget things. I had a brief moment of panic on my last day off what the SIM card pin of my work phone was as I don't usually ever switch if off. It did come to me in time, but for a moment, my mind was completely blank. I guess it's a good sign when you are able to switch off and recharge completely...it's just the switching-back-on part that's a bit strenuous...
