I know the popular opinion that I should care…but I never much mind working this last week of the year.
Aside from the irritation of needing to juggle childcare and family commitments—fairly sizable irritations!—work this week has a rare slowness and a quiet to it that vanishes come the first week of the new year.
People are more pensive, as the year end approaches. Meetings meander; people are more pensive, given to rambling, digressive exchanges.
I love it.
