Do you hear what I hear?

Now that the holidays are over, the next few days are tough, if not impossible, to get the work force back to work. All this giving and sharing allow for new holidays, celebrations and recognitions to begin: Bring Your Problem To Work Day! Since everyone has been so festive, and the holiday tunes have been playing for a month, and carry ins and special lunches have now forced people to talk to one another...now they can not stop! It is an obsession to tell a co-worker something ... what happened to Ginger when she made egg nog. Or Freida's gift wrapping disaster, wrong person got the wrong gift. Harold is obsessed in telling everyone about how early the kids woke him up because of Santa. All these needless stories are told throughout the day to co-workers. Asking advice on how to handle returns. Asking about that wonderful cheese ball recipe. Asking about where to take the Christmas tree to be recycled. Asking how much longer until Christmas..... Everyone feels that have to share something. Sometimes it is good, but no one wants to listen to that person. Everyone wants to hear about how the trunk was full of packages on the way to Chicago and the car had a flat tire, all the gifts had to be unloaded in the rain, the gifts were ruined. Now, that is the story you want to take in and then share with someone else. Honestly, Christmas is the holiday that haunts the office like a bad audit.
