Whew, I feel like caca today.  It’s like I’m in a coma, but at work and need to get things done.  I’ll see if a second cup of coffee does anything, so hold on a minute…  Ok, got it.

It’s been one hell of a last few weeks. There have been three big events: the arrival of a new nephew – my wife taking the bar exam – and a boat load of work.

The nephew was more than two weeks overdue, and the labor was quite the process.  I’m looking forward to meeting Baxter here in a few weeks.

The bar exam thing is something we’ve all known about for awhile, but I’m still very proud of my wife for getting through it.

The work thing is just…  I don’t know what word to place on it.  It’s like I’ve been working much harder than usual on the type of things that really drain me (higher level creative concepting, brand concepting, market research, etc).  Don’t get me wrong, I love having work.  Especially after this year.  It’s just that of all this work, I’ve yet to see any payoff in creative justification or from the business owner standpoint.  It just hasn’t felt as rewarding as I hoped it would to this point.  But things are definitely pointed in the right direction.

And the damn coffee isn’t working.
