Still Time To Recharge

You're heading back to work, not yet fully recovered from a long weekend of eating, drinking, socializing and not resting.

Physically, your internal organs are out of whack. They've been bombarded with the delicacies that they only see once a year and it takes a while for the body chemistry to recover. Too much fat. Too much sugar. Too much alcohol. Every cell in your unfortunate pancreas is reeling.

Don't worry. It will get better.

Scientists claim that we'll all feel thoroughly refreshed by this time next week.

Our heads will be so stunned from New Year's Eve that by the first Monday in January, we'll actually believe that we're ready to take on the world with plenty of energy.

There's said to be some kind of psychological trigger that kicks in. We think that because it's a new year, we're making a new start. We're ready to conquer the business world, win that account, and all because the date is 2011 rather than 2010.

This week, however, is a total loss.

Keep your head down, don't get laid off, and by this time next Monday you'll feel differently than you do today.

Or at least the scientists would have us believe it's so.
