Attitudes and the Super Bowl LVI

This week at work was admittedly slow. I am not a fan of slow days at work because time just seems to go by slower, and I like to generally stay productive. It was tough though because I felt that I was having a bad attitude about it, not openly but discreetly. I would look online for things to do when work is slow, but nothing really seemed to click. I also did not want to just be stuck looking at websites all day during work hours while trying not to get caught.

It was hard, but I did change my attitude at least one of those slow days. I just focused on what I could do that is productive at work or outside of work. If I am unable to be very productive at work, then what could I do after work and at home to make up for that lack of productivity? Were there any long-term things that I could do at work that would eventually need to be done? There was one day where this method of thinking changed my attitude, but I could not always replicate it.

The week was just leading to the weekend, and it was the Super Bowl on Sunday. It was fun having friends over, barbecuing and just watching the game, even though I am admittedly not an ardent football fan. The L.A. Rams ended up beating the Cincinnati Bengals, and coincidentally, the way the game went changed everyone’s attitudes. The Rams were doing well early, giving off the attitude that this was going to be a one-sided game. Then, the Bengals were up, but finally the Rams ended up winning the whole thing. In the matter of a few hours, the attitudes and perspectives started out a certain way, then changed with the game, but ultimately went back to where it began.
