Yesterday's little tidbit from my desk calendar: "There's an almost universal tendency to overexaggerate our workloads."

I don't think I could overexaggerate my workload this week even if I tried. Maybe this week in the calendar was not the best place to put that reminder in, as most people are trying to get two weeks of work done in one so they can take off for the holiday, while getting all the last-minute Christmas stuff done at the same time. Not to mention that yesterday was the busiest day of the year for the post office. I'm sure those poor people would not take kindly to this particular sentiment.

Or maybe I'm making too much of the platitudes of a desk calendar.
