If ever merchants needed a good reason to sort out their blinking well Xmas promotions before December 15th then this syndrome must be it. I’m sure I can’t be unique when I say I’ve had it with Christmas.  In fact, I’ve had it with Christmas for at least two weeks but have struggled gamely on.

My brain is currently at the point where me simply sitting in front of a computer screen seems to induce me to contemplate my navel closely for several hours interspersed with the odd visit to Facebook or Twitter to talk a load of shit.  This is in stark contrast to my usual feelings of energy and downright go getter-ness (another symptom is that I’ve started making up my own words).

Merry BuggerAllThisMass…

As I sailed out the door to the shopping centre at 10am this morning full of the spirit of “Bugger All This Mass” I said to Duncan; “I really don’t know whats up with me dear I really just can’t think straight.”

“What do you mean you don’t know what’s up?” He says.

“Eh?” I eloquently replied.

“You’re like this every effing year love!”

“I am?”

And it’s true.  I am.  There’s something about the push for Christmas trade that is incredibly exciting.  But bear in mind that much like an over excitable 6 year old I’ve been getting myself all wound up for it since the middle of June and making sure I was going to do as good a job as possible in getting those affiliate pennies in at this very lucrative time of year.

And So My Dear Friends, This Tightly Wound Affiliate Coil Has Unsprung…

I must have done quite well with my festive efforts, because my “Cant Be Assed Mass” has arrived almost 20 days early.  I feel as if I have now done as much as I possibly can for the big man in the red suit and as a result I’m like a balloon that’s been burst (by that over excited 6 year old we were chatting about a couple of paragraphs back).

I think my lack of motivation is in reverse proportion to the amount of money appearing on my screen when I log on to the networks each morning. The more thats there, the less I want to do! What little brain capacity that remains has been devoted to keeping an eagle eye on my margins.  Much time is being spent analysing every single penny I spend and click I send. So merchants, it is now too late to grab my ear with your latest and greatest promotions.  That ship has sailed and it’s captain is  roaring drunk in the wheelhouse.

What Now?

Well, I’d better get my finger extracted from my derrierre and my head out of the clouds.  Christmas might be all sewn up but January is still flapping in the wind.  I’ve got a LOT to do.

The only thing I can think of is to take the rest of the week off, power down, power up Sunday night and hope the old spring gets wound up again to get into my January promotions.

So Merchants… Please Leave My Commission After The Beep. Anything Else Will Be Deleted. BEEEEEEPPPPPP!!
