On returning after a holiday

December 1st, 2008 · No Comments

It’s hard to recapture the feeling you get on returning to the office after a holiday. It’s easy to bemoan the momentary problems you see at work, especially on the cusp of a nice long holiday weekend.

But then reality rears its ugly head. The events in Mumbai and the frightening tension in Thailand are the real reminders here, notice that the world does not stop quietly on weekends. It would be easy for me to write that I had an epiphany. It would be easy to realize that the world is a better place now that I’ve seen a glimpse of true evil and returned to my safe life (even when watching from afar I was in no danger at all). The reality of it is that I think today is just another day. A good day for knowing that I don’t live in a place as staccato, as random, as those places on the other side of the world.

The momentary problems at work were welcome today as I returned back to a quieter, sadder world. But I am grateful for the chance to do that work.
