Am I honestly supposed to read a book about squirrels???

I must admit going into the Squirrel Inc. assignment I thought that it was going to stupid. A book about working squirrels, honestly???? The first few pages reitterated again why I think being a bartender should be a required job for most people, because you learn to read people, listen to people tell you about their lives, talk to complete strangers, interact with drunk people, and as a bonus perk you learn to mix all of those yummy beverages, but beside the point. As the book continues on I realize that the squirells arent really important and it is the message that is really important. I think that sometimes, I do this alot, in life we get caught up in the nit picky little details and we forget to look at the big picture and what it all means. Details are important, but I tend to fixate on them, to the point that I lose sight of the finish line and forget what I am doing. I am the person that picks out hte perfect format for something before I right it, forgeting completely that the paper and the words are important, not really anything else. I kind of use it as a procrastnation tool, but in other things as well i lose focus. I look forward to reading more in squirell inc, and truth be told I think that it is more interesting with the charecters being squirells than humans, I get caught up in the Disney factor of the book, picturing their cartoon world and glomouring it up as opposed to making them humans working in the monotinous business world.
