2010 has come and to be honest I forgot it was even coming. It’s the end of a decade which I guess is a big deal based on the fact that I keep hearing on all the media outlets “it’s the end of decade”. I don’t think I’m too far off base with this assumption.
That being said I chose to work New Year’s Day because I’m not a big New Years person and I didn’t expect to be out all that late or hungover the next day. So I’m sitting at my desk and I’ve done some work but I am mostly interested in doing anything but any real work. Which is working out for me because I have two projects that I am following but I now have the time to peruse youtube.com for things that can keep me entertained until I get to go home. I am also looking for clips that are relatively long so that I don’t have to keep searching for something new every minute or so. It’s like a treasure hunt. Very exciting stuff.
Thus is my life on the first day of the year. So I am doing what I just described and it dawned on me that what I really want is for my children to be so smart that they are able to multi-task. But in a really successful way. To be able to get their work done noticebly well and still able to do a thing for themselves here and there. Which then I thought wow I will spend their entire lives declaring and reaffirming that working hard and giving everything they do their best, which includes focus and what not will lead to success. So now I’m confused.
Eh, screw it I just won’t talk to my kids about succeeding in life. I won’t talk at all. I’ll spend their entire lives pretending I am mute and too simple to learn sign language. They will learn to be extremely perceptive and read my thoughts through my now extremely expressive eyes now that I don’t talk. I’ll really be fine tuning their senses. Wow what a great Mom I’ll be.
Well at the very least I can make myself laugh as I sit by myself at work pretending to work.
