I appear here in flurries of activity (not snow flurries). Summer is in full swing and it’s hot and humid in Indiana… and that’s pretty normal. What isn’t normal is just about everything else this summer.
First, WORK! Summer (and the time between Thanksgiving and the 1st of the New Year) is typically slower in regard to my job. A good many people (employees) have graduations, weddings, and vacations planned during the summer months. My experience is that companies don’t schedule meetings as frequently then as they do during other times of the year; therefore, I’m not usually as busy either. This year is different! And, typically during election years we see a trend of fewer events booked — companies oftentimes opt for economists and political figures. This year is different! We are CRAZY busy!
Having said that… the time that’s typically slow is when I try to do things I want to do. Take a Disney Vacation for example…
We had a fabulous time even though I accidentally booked on another holiday. In Disney right after Christmas last year and throughout the New Year celebration, I swore I would never again book on a holiday. I forgot all about Memorial Day when making plans for this latest trip to the happiest place on earth, and again was there at a horribly busy time. We’re already talking about when we’re going back… but I’m going to do a little research first — primarily regarding the slowest and coolest times to visit.
I sure hope this finds every single one of you enjoying summer as much as I am!
