I Don't Wanna Do That!!!

Do you ever find that there's something in your life that you know you have to do but you absolutely cannot bring yourself to do it unless it becomes a matter of, say, losing your job, or having a huge fight, or losing a cherished friendship? I've found mine - and no, it's not the laundry...though that comes in a very close second. Part of my job is to issue lockers to people who have requested them. It's not a complicated task. It doesn't take very long. I hate and loathe doing it. I have now put it off as long as I can (longer) and just this morning one of the managers sent me an e-mail asking me when it will be done. Ugh. So now I've spent the first 20 minutes of my morning issuing lockers and combination locks. I don't know what it is and I don't really understand my aversion to this aspect of my job; this task is part of the reason I get paid! But now it's done and Hans (our in-office courier, doer of all things facility-related, mail room specialist extraordinaire) has delivered the assignments to the appropriate persons. I'm glad he knows how much I hate doing this because when he sees the locker assignment envelopes in my out-box, he makes it a point to deliver them right away. Thank you, Hans! Ok...I'm done now. To work with me. TTFN JMS
