Going back to work after being on vacation is never easy. For most people, however, it is a necessity if one wants to go on vacation again. To make my return to work easier, I decided to set several alarms.
The first alarm, set for 6 AM, was really just a kind reminder that my slumber was nearing an end. Thus, I titled it, ‘Don’t get up, just stretch.’
The second alarm, set for 6:15 and titled, ‘Consider getting up,’ was more of suggestion.
The third alarm, set for 6:30, was a ‘wake-up’ call, if you will, and was titled, ‘You should probably get up.’
The fourth and last alarm, set for 7:06 (because nothing beats an early morning 36 minute nap), was both a directive and a reminder that good music was waiting to be heard. It was titled, ‘Get up. It’s easy, like Sunday morning.’ Thank you Lionel Richie for helping me put things in perspective.
As much as I wanted to continue to lay in bed, I got up at approximately 7:08, took a shower, went to work, and started planning my next vacation.
