Time just gets away..

It's pretty bad when you go to do something, get distracted, do another couple of things and by the time you remember the original 'something'.. it's been four hours! Now, don't know if this is because my brain is all scrambled with the Christmas rush, printing that is - everyone needs cards to mail out and are just remembering this now, or if I'm distracted more then is typical. Who knows... Now.. what was my point? Oh, yeah! Time. There never seems to be enough of it in a day, never enough days in the week and the weeks just seem to fly by. At one moment it was the middle of summer, I was on vacation and having the time of my life and then *BAM!* it's now 35 days until Christmas. Where does the time go? Really.. I'd like to know.
Just sitting here minding my own business, doing work, like normal, and then we suddenly start getting all these calls to put in Christmas Card orders. Look at the calendar and, by Jove, our customers haven't completely gone off their rockers, time is really running out. Then of course, we'll all make the mad dash to get everything done for Christmas. Decorating, shopping and wrapping, and in a split second amid the shredding of said, carefully and painstakingly, wrapped paper - it's over. Six days later it's a New Year and we start the mad dash all over again.
It's a never ending cycle really, of rush, rush, rush and then.. one day.. it stops. But, we won't go there 'cause that's just plain depressing, and this is the time of year for rejoicing and celebrating. Look there... another twenty minutes have come and gone...
