You've seen the bumper stickers - I'd rather be _______ - now, experience the sensation.

It might be the holidays, it might be Thursday...or Friday, depending on where you are, It might just be a very personal sense of ennui. Whatever it is, the end result is the same. Your mind is wandering about, hither, thither and yon, more concerned with what you are not doing than with what you are doing.

So just take care. bring yourself back to the present moment now and again, especially if you're driving. Pay attention...or at least try to because letting down your half of a conversation as your mind goes shopping can lead to unfortunate personal interactions.

Pay especial attention to things that require your signature or credit card information. Read the small print even though you don't want to. You'll be glad you did.
