Life On The Ledge

The ups and downs of being your own boss

An Interesting Case of the Mondays January 5, 2009

Today went by very quickly for me, which was great.  I just realized I spent a lot of today tweeting and networking with colleagues (new and old) about work and life.  I forgot to eat breakfast and almost lunch! In the end I feel very fulfilled because I enjoy what I learn from my network of friends and some of them really crack me up too (yes, you @MrsWrite.)   Twitter was filled with great insights and links to helpful posts today.  I feel like I improved my skills, while having great conversations, as usual.  I guess that’s ROI :)

I did observe something interesting today.  The folks who are doing what they love were excited to be back to work in a new year filled with possibilities.  There were great conversations and posts regarding goals and expectations.  The people who work a regular job…not so much.  Their status was ‘hate coming to work today’ or ‘when is the next 3 day weekend?’  

Makes me feel really good that I actually still enjoy what I do and, despite how football season can do a number on me on Sundays, I still go to my job with a smile and great enthusiasm!  I hope everyone who had the Mondays today will make a goal in 2009 to do what they love not what they have to do.
