We manage it in different ways,
That first initial shock…
Returning on the day after vacation.

Some of us are in a daze,
On Monday, 9 o’clock.,
On seeing the huge wave of information.

Some snuck a look at emails
While they were on the beach!
To simplify the challenge on the day…

To others that would be a ‘fail’
For all they’ve tried to teach
About work-life balance, the corporate way…

Of course there’s no right answer.
You must choose what works for you,
To settle back into the daily grind.

But read these lines, and chance a
Small change to what you do
It could just make a difference, you might find.

So, close your eyes and wait,
And think what makes you proud
Relax and breathe and gently take your time….

For me it’s too now late
And all that I’m allowed
Is commenting ironically in rhyme.

428 emails to go.
Welcome back.
