St Monday's the weekend to me

[radegund]

Monday lethargy has once more struck. (It doesn't help that the heating still isn't on: the office is distinctly chilly.)

How do you make yourself work when you don't feel like it?

Hmmm. I suggest trying to see if you could get roof access, except standing on an Irish roof in October is not a recipe for a long and healthy life... How about wireless headphones for music then? That's what I use here as I'm in a cubicle on the main editor's row, so it can get noisy with conversations, etc.[*] Wireless is great, because it means I can reach for a file at the back of my cabinet with worrying that my head is going to be wrenched backwards by a headphones cord.

[*]When I'm really behind the 8-ball, I stretch a rope made from rubber bands across the top of my cubicle entrance from which I hang a DO NOT DISTURB! type sign. One day I'll follow through on my threat to rig up a bead curtain...

Um, pitched roof :-)

Actually, I don't listen to music while I'm doing verbal work. Our office is usually cloaked in a rich, industrious silence, broken only by the hum of our CPUs, the ticking of the clock, the soft rattle of keyboards and the rustle of dictionary pages.

Good Lord, it sounds like you work on the set of Ball of Fire! You're in charge now -- mix it up a little; Hawaiian Shirt Day, entertain the troops a liitle, or send out for the motivation fairy... :)
