That’s what the sign on the outside of my closed office door says right now. Usually I only put up a sign like this when I am very busy and have a major deadline looming. But today I am not very busy and I don’t have a major deadline. Nope, the sign is all about me and my sanity!
On the inside of my office is an entirely different picture from what’s outside. Outside are phones ringing, copiers running, faxes sending, people buzzing… Inside my office is tranquil, the blinds are open and the sunshine is pouring into my office like it’s July and 80 degrees rather than March and barely over freezing. It is deceptive weather and despite the fact that it is cold out, this sunny weather is making me so happy and I want it to remain that way! To that end, I don’t want to talk to coworkers who ask me serious work questions non-stop and I especially don’t want to talk to my boss who has been in a “mood” all day. Nope, I want to sit in my sunny office, listen to good music, and work on a project that needs to be done but that I want to do well, at a nice leisurely pace.
Maybe I have a case of the Fridays. Maybe I am sorely in need of vitamin D and want to hog all the sunshine to myself. Maybe I am a crabby and antisocial attorney. Then again, maybe I just value my own sanity and need this afternoon of peace!
