I almost always have Lame Post Friday, even when it is not a “real” Friday for me due to overtime on Saturday (love that overtime check, hate getting up early on a Saturday, DON’T tell me I have nothing to complain about!). Lame Post Friday, in case you’ve forgotten, is my time for random observations and half-baked philosophy. I actually had some half-baked philosophy earlier this evening. Let’s see if I can remember it.
I hate it when you say you do something and somebody else says, “I don’t have TIME for that” for whatever reason. Doesn’t it make you feel like a huge slacker with loads of undeserved leisure time? Oh, don’t tell me that nobody can “make” me feel a certain way, we are not having that discussion today.
The fact is, we all have the same 24 hours in a day. Perhaps I do use those hours to my best advantage. But I don’t need anybody telling me that! That’s rude!
Oh, I know, the “I don’t have time” person said nothing about ME, why am I taking it so personally? Still, I can’t help feeling that they are drawing an unflattering comparison. This could be a whole other discussion about people saying things and putting it all on you if you feel offense. “I didn’t say anything about YOU!” Oh yeah, right. I don’t think we should abdicate responsibility for our implications (how’s that for a fancy turn of phrase?).
Full disclosure: I went to a wine tasting at Ilion Wine and Spirits before I wrote this. I had a very good time and intend to write a blog post about the winery who hosted the tasting.
Right now, however, I have to begin the relaxing portion of my evening prior to going to bed and getting enough rest for tomorrow’s overtime. I hope to also have a couple of Mohawk Valley adventures after work. I hope you’re all having a lovely Friday.
