Where's my motivation here???

I wonder if its just me but everyone I talk to lately seems so unmotivated at work. Perhaps its that time of the year, its over 30 degrees outside everyday and we'd all rather be outside on a patio getting hammered.

Maybe its the total lack of quality management in the people we report to. Managers who don't know how to treat people well, after awhile it becomes a grind for the paycheque.

It could be that as we get older, we see the folly in totally giving our lives over to a job or career. Other things like family, friends and personal wellbeing become more important.

Whatever it is, it will probably be over in about a month. We'll be back to the grind, it will slowly start getting colder. Emails will start flying about second and third quarter targets and possibly missing our year end. Bosses will start "pushing buttons" because we've all been goofing around all summer.

Next thing you know its New Year's Eve and as we sit there at midnight chugging champagne out of the bottle and swear that this year will be different. We're going to start working out, keep more in touch with our friends, read more go on more trips, leave the office earlier....

And voila, Groundhog Day...

Ain't life grand??? :-)
