Vacation does this to me.  I have absolutely no desire to return my attention to work-related crap.  Or politics.  Or anything negative, really.

Suffice to say, I had a BLAST on this trip.  After the insane hours I’ve been putting in at the office, I had the benefit using them for two weeks of R&R away from the office traveling with one of my favorite people, listening to some treat tunes, savoring some tasty meals, and enjoying a first face-to-face meeting with a new friend friend or two.

Somewhere in there—and this didn’t happen on my last trip to Montana—I lost the desire to keep up with work-related stuff.  Happened on the second day I was gone, really.  Other than half-heartedly checking my email and responding to one manager’s attempts to schedule a meeting the day before I was to return to work, I just didn’t think about it at all.  My mind took a full vacation, something it sorely needed.

It’s been really difficult to get my mind engaged in work again.  I feel as though it’s still trying to apply the brakes, and I can feel the gears grinding to change directions.

But, on the plus side, I return embued with resolve to approach a couple of issues and interpersonal relationships without fear.

It’s been a good couple of weeks.
