vacation mode

I recently returned from vacation, and you know how it goes your first week back at work.

Lousy.

It's hard to get back into the habit of, well basically, life. For one thing, I find that I'm extremely tired, and could use a vacation from vacation (does that make any sense?!). There are daily routines at work that I was able to do seamlessly before I left for a week, that now require extra concentration.

Like transferring calls. There were a few calls I received this week that I felt like I transferred to Beijing, China. No joke. The customer called back and was like, “Yeah, I just wanted to talk to someone about a loan, and I didn't realize that I'd have to learn Mandarin in order to do that. Do you offer language school at a discount for all loan applications?”

Oops!
