Lately I have been noticing that people are not as friendly to each other as they normally are. Many people I have talked to have been frustrated due to the weather, uncertain economic times, life events that have taken a not so good turn. All of this frustration seems to be coming out in the oddest of places. I am seeing a side of people that just doesn't seem to be, well, NICE.
In exploring this observation with a friend, she stated she thought it was that is was March. Yes, apparently the month of March is just that time of the year when people act out. Is this true? Is there some weirdness about the month of March that causes otherwise nice, courteous, professional business people to turn into something totally the opposite?
Is it because this is a transition month? End of winter, beginning of Spring? Filing of taxes and officially "closing out" the previous year? Kids on or getting ready for Spring break and the last stretch of the school year? Time in the business year when we start to look at the first quarter and wonder if our business was any better off than this time last year?
What is it about March?
OH - it could be the Madness...NCAA basketball brackets are out. Maybe your favorite team didn't make it? Or maybe you don't have a fav team and all this focus on something such as college basketball is a complete waste of time, talent and energy.
Whatever it is - I hope it passes quickly and April gets here soon... I know I sure could use the change in attitudes!
