Fingers in Their Cases

Today, my staff got serious about packing for our impending office move. They were in overdrive, packing boxes, gathering old magazines and other innocuous paper for the recyclng center, questioning "why do we have to keep this?" at every turn. They worked hard for their pay today, a physical effort that we rarely have to exert.

As for me, I had a completely unexpected and utterly unwelcome flare-up of the long-since-gone pain of my Crohn's disease. Fortunately, it wasn't serious and the most serious pain only lasted a few hours, but it was an unhappy reminder that the damn disease is still there. I had a minor flare earlier this year. I hope this isn't a signal that it's getting its sea-legs again.

Tomorrow, I'm to be interviewed for a national television news show that virtually everyone would know if I mentioned it, but I won't because I don't want my clients nosing around on this blog. It's going to be a phone interview, which is a good thing because I don't like television interviews in the least (and I've been told I have a face for radio, anyway). The topic has gotten so old that I wish it would just disappear, but at least it keeps my client in the spotlights of the media, which for them is a good thing.

All the prospective new business that is descending on me is still not close to becoming a paying client, but I can't help but think some of them will take the plunge before long. Our new office space probably won't accommodate any more clients, nor any more staff, but I'd like to have to deal with those impossibilities before I decide I wouldn't appreciate them.

I'm putting my fingers back in their cases tonight. Enough bloggery.
