Friday - working from home

I have a tendency to give too much energy into my work, so that by Friday I'm just mentally drained. I know I have to be careful as the office here, as it can just suck the life force out of ya - or at least someone like me. I don't want to write about work as you never know who might be reading, so won't go into details. For the record, I do enjoy the work very much, it is challenging to a certain degree. But it definitely lacks some of the people energy that I had at Nike. I tend to give a lot of energy to people, but am not receiving much back.

So, today I decided to work from home and re-energize myself. Plus, it's nice and quiet here so I can focus and plow through stuff. I took a quick break and walked to the little local hardware store to buy some replacement light bulbs. Most stores here are only open during regular work hours, it can be quite challenging. For the record the light bulbs are different here, some of them don't screw in, they just kind of pop in. Anyway, I just find that interesting. I had to take the two different light bulbs with me so that I'd get the right replacements. After I purchased them I asked if she could recycle the dead ones. She replied and said no, I need to take them to the @#%. I said what? She said, you need to take them to the @#%. I asked what's that? She loooooked at me. We both gave up. I have no idea what she said. This happens to me at least once a day. Not understanding the English word or someone's accent. I didn't think I'd experience that much of this, it's rather interesting.

Okay, this has to be one of the most boring posts ever. I am definitely low in energy, it's showing up in everything I do. I'm looking forward to the yoga tonight - I think that should help.
