Holiday Weekend Hangover

I saw the look when I glanced at the mirror this morning.
I saw the look on nearly everybody’s face on the train as we stumbled our way to work.
Everybody in the office is a bit zombie-like this morning.

There’s just something about having an extra day off over the weekend that makes it that much more difficult to get back in the swing of things when returning to the daily grind. Maybe it’s the aftershocks of long hours in the car coming and going from your vacation destination. Maybe it’s the lack of sleep from your neighbors’ impromptu midnight basketball tournament. Maybe it’s the actual ringing of the head from the binge drinking you did to celebrate the holiday. Maybe it’s the observing of the Memorial Day holiday and the realization that so many of our soldiers were unable to take the weekend off. Maybe you even had to work, in which case I hope you got paid time and a half.

Whatever it is, I’m going to try and chug down some extra coffee and get myself awake. Hope you all had a good holiday.

    I hear that. Definitely some weary-looking people about the office today.
