You know that 'back-from-holiday' feeling you get when everything is a little worse than the way you left it and you have to come back down to earth with a thump?
I haven't got that.
Well, not exactly. Alright, I did have to move desks at work, having discovered all my stuff in a plastic crate, and OK yes, I did accidentally flood the kitchen with skimmed milk, much to the amusement of my colleagues who mocked me carrying a mop and bucket back and forth to the cleaners' cupboard...
However, when I'm not looking like a janitor, I'm actually quite glad to be plugged back into normal life. I don't think it's very healthy leaping from holiday to holiday, constantly wishing you were somewhere else. As difficult as it sometimes is, I've adopted a kind of 'make-the-most-of-today' attitude, and it's the best antidote to the holiday blues I can think of.
Having said all of that, it turns out that I do have a party's-over-get-back-to-work kind of feeling about something else - something else entirely. After eight months of blissful out-of-the-loop ignorance, I find myself having to log in to facebook.
Yup. My friend and I are organising a flash mob in December, and it turns out that facebook is the most sensible and efficient way of inviting people to it.
So it is then: grumpily returning to facebook - and essentially for the purposes of marketing - just one of the reasons I got fed up with it in the first place! I haven't missed it. I just hope I can avoid all the silliness - at least until December 13th anyway.
Perhaps I'll just avoid scrolling down.
