Job avoidance and angry cleaning

Have you ever noticed how much you can get done when you’re trying to avoid something else? For instance, there is this big mailing I need to get out at work, and I just can’t bring myself to do it. I don’t know why. I’ll get done tomorrow because that’s the deadline I’ve set, but I could have done it today or yesterday, but I just couldn’t get myself to do it. I even tried a couple of times, but nope couldn’t do it. I did however get my desk pick up, organized some files, got some filing done, submitted work request forms for two projects, and compiled cost estimates for two other projects. A lot of work, but the one big thing I could have been doing.

It’s kind of like cleaning the house. I clean best when I’m totally pissed off. I get mad and pretty soon there is no dirt or mess safe from my wrath. All that energy focused on dirt and grim, as well as letting off steam. Don’t get in my way unless you want a high gloss finish. I take no prisoners. I of course, clean at times other then when I’m not angry, but it tends to lack a certain residual energy.
