Office absences are rampant during the first few days of the year, especially when the second or third day of the year falls on a Thursday or Friday. Our boss has already warned us about this. He jokingly said that he’ll immediately conduct a people search on each absentee and send them his post holiday greetings with a termination letter attached with it. Of course, everybody laughed, albeit uncomfortably.
My boss has effectively preempted my plan to fake a flu in order to take the rest of the week off. Well, that plan has been shelved even before he made the announcement since a client of ours called me up a few days ago and asked if we could discuss some things tomorrow over lunch.
I guess it’s not good to start the year slow. Some say that our activities or disposition on the first day of the year will dictate how we think and act for the rest of the year. If that’s true, then I’d better start in a very upbeat mood.
