... Jeff Mauro, the Sandwich King, stand-up comedian and all-around nice guy. Can I call 'em, or what?
Waking up early is highly overrated. Waking up early on Monday morning should be a federal offense, a violation of the RICO Act or maybe the Mann Act. Something. I haven't gotten this right, not once, in the forty years I have been working. Whether it is catching the 6:37 am out of Ronkonkoma or navigating to my car for a 9:00 court hearing, I stand before you the consummate failure. Mornings suck and Monday mornings suck the most.
In the middle of my sucky mood, I continue to pack up my office. I hate the fact that I am such a clutterer, and I know I will not stop. Every time I have moved into an office, I have filled every shelf and niche with pictures, figures, flowers, and even little toys. All symbolic and quite pleasing to my eye. I can tell you what each item means to me, and who gave it to me or how I otherwise acquired it. All nice memories. My plants. Handmade afghans. If it wasn't for the fact that I try to keep everything in there neat, relatively clean, and organized, I'd worry about being labeled a hoarder. People love my office, and find it homey and restful. But it is a bear to pack up, and that's the point I am at now.
Like I said, sucky.
