The Other Shoe

When was the last time you had a day that you just didn't want to get up and go to work? Lately that seems to be every day. I remember my mom used to say, "There'll be days like that." She just never told me there'd be so many in a row. And while I don't like change that I haven't initiated myself, I'm working with it. Somewhere in the change process when things finally start to solidify and you have an an objective, a point, a direction or at least a hint of what's going on, you can start making plans. Usually by this point you're down to only a few options instead of the sky's the limit. We've been waiting to learn our fate pretty much since the beginning of the year here in IT. We've been told we'd be told this week. And here we are, yet another day just about completed and still nothing. Another day that I can't make any knowledge-based decisions because there is no knowledge to base a rational decision on. Just another day. Pretty much like the day before. Still, that shoe is looming. And always, there's the scuttlebut at the coffee pot, those who are looking for someone to blame, those who really don't care and those who just want to get on with it. I'm going home and going to bed and I'm not getting up until next week...hopefully next week will have better days. Or at least maybe I'll know...
