Madness?

Hey, do you have a few minutes?  Pull up a chair – this is a doozy!

Picture it – I head to the office early to plan my day and commit to thriving, living from the soul, expanding universe and all things Tony Robbins – when my email “pings.”  Its an email from my boss with the reports due today.  My shoulders sag and I let out an audible sign… and then, what is that tinny sound in my right year – “ringa ringa ringa…”    I look around to see if anyone else is hearing this and, duh, I’m working remote – pandemic lockdown don’t you know!

I finish my reports and corresponding coversheets when the text from my regional manager comes in, “why didn’t you xyx that abc last week…”  Ugggh – shoulder shrug – and the tinny sounds is back.  I pulse my “ear closey-thing” (not sure the anatomical name for that part of the ear) thinking I must have water and shampoo in there.  The “ringa ringa ringa…” continues and then followed by a “BOOOOM BOOOM!”  I grab my jar of gummies thinking I must had made a bad purchase but no – they ARE CBD with the approved legal amount of THC.

I look out of the corner of my eye and there is a guy in my office.  Black shorts, skinny legs, white socks and he’s playing a guitar…” ringa ringa ringa…”  And then comes the “BOOOOM BOOOM!”  again.  No kidding!  And another guy is there, with a sweaty mullet and a tweed news cap, and he belts out in a high pitch yet raspy voice…

I was caught in the middle of a railroad track (Thunder)
I looked 'round, and I knew there was no turning back (Thunder)
My mind raced, and I thought "What could I do?" (Thunder)
And I knew there was no help, no help from you (Thunder)

Yep – you got it – I don’t know how but AC/DC is in my office!  WOW!

As they were gathering their instruments, Angus looks at me and gives a little nod and says in a Scottish accent, “Dude – life is more than reports and coversheets.  Remember – you’ve been Thunderstruck!”

And they were gone!  I once again recommitted my day to thriving, living from the soul, expanding universe and all things Tony Robbins; and when my mind turns to the negative, I am reminded, “Stop it – You are Thunderstruck!”

CLARIFICATION – The AC/DC encounter is a work of fiction.  The encouragement to live as though you are Thunderstruck is sincere!
