Happy New Year! This morning I clicked the button to start my coffee pot and nothing happened.

Yes, very scary. It’s a fairly new coffee maker, and as I’m trying to figure out what is going on, in my head, I’m thinking, is it still under warranty? Of course, I’m not thinking rationally because, well, I need coffee.

At some point, the realization dawns that nothing in that part of the kitchen has power. Ah, circuit issue. My husband promptly runs into the basement and resets that circuit, and then boom, everything works again, and I have coffee.

Machines are a little like people. We may think they are broken, but sometimes they simply get overloaded and need a reset.

Therefore, my 2023 wish for you is to recognize when you need to take the time to reset your circuits so that you don’t burn out.

If you need someone to help you reset, contact The HR Team.
