Monday: Madness & Motivation

Did I need to catch up on sleep this weekend? Yes. Did I catch up on sleep this weekend? No. So, conveniently my body decided to catch up on sleep this morning. When my alarm went off at 5:30 am, my brain decided to incorporate it into my dream so that I would not be disturbed. How thoughtful! An hour later my dad came to ask if I was intentionally still asleep. I wasn't. One thing you should know about me is I strongly detest mornings. I am not a morning person. Unlike my wonderful fiance Elliott who is a glittering beam of sunshine at dawn. I also don't like rushing. I like to take my time.

So this morning, not only was I super sleepy (per usual) but I was rushing around trying to get ready in time.

Worst part: I didn't have time to drink a cup of coffee and there was no Red Bull in the fridge. There is nothing worse than that but warm Red Bull. Although I've downed my share of the energy drink at a tepid temperatures, today was not going to be that kind of day. I let it chill in the office fridge all morning. I am currently enjoying it.

Me and Morgan. Cheers. 

Because of the mad morning rush, I did not have time to pack a lunch. So, Morgan and I went to CK and got a Mediterranean fix. Yummm.

For most, Monday might be a little groggy and unclear, but Morgan and I are fueled with motivation. You see, there is this competition thing for Quicken Loans interns where we get points for doing specific things around Detroit (like eating out, going to a tigers game, etc). Well, we didn't participate last week and we lost out on getting $45 gift cards to the Somerset CityLoft. Needless to say we were wallowing in regret for a good 50 minutes. We are also making great progress on our binder, which I will share with you in the near future, so that's something to look forward too!

Because we have been on top of our game today, our observations have been especially keen. We have noticed that a particular person on our floor gets snacks quite often. In order to protect the identity of the hungry, i'll refer to this person as Snacker (clever, I know). Snacker walks by our desk frequently throughout the day and always comes back with a new cup of snack in hand. Today, we have counted 8 times so far.

Attendance at the office is dwindling today, and it will probably just decline from here because of the holiday. Soon, it will only be Morgan and myself plus one other person on our team here. Time to blast Call Me, Maybe? Probably.
