So today, as I sat at my desk, running reports, filing, fielding phone calls...I lost focus. Seriously. I HATE being unfocused when I am work, but sure enough, I did.
And boy did I really, really hate it.
Backtrack to a few days ago. My wife says to me she's cramping. As I probed her for more info on this, she says that they seem to be pretty regular, about 15 min apart.
Oh Shit! I thought, here we go! Since then she's been doing ok, but now I'm pretty frazzled, and I'm losing my focus on things. I should take time off work (Lord knows I have TONS of sicktime,about 80 hrs worth), but she insists that I continue working, seeing as I might actually need the sick time some day (yea, talking to a guy who called out 3 times in 5 years). So now I'm stuck at my desk, trying to get my work done, but at the same time....my mind wanders. I lose focus. I'm grumpy, irritable. I started snapping at people...so much so that a few of my close co-workers actually approached me and pointed out that Jeez Jere, you know this isn't really like you, is everything ok?
So, yea, clock's REALLY ticking and I don't know if I'm ready. Then again, is anyone really truly ready? It would seem that the little bugger doesn't want to wait until the 20th like the doctors said. It would seem that he want out NOW and I'm thinking it will be this weekend. We'll see.
