There’s a fascinating post and discussion going on over at Jay’s place, about being productive, finding time to write. I thought I’d offer up a few thoughts on how it looks from my own perspective and experience. First of all: everyone’s different. Okay, we can all agree on that, so let’s just get it out […]

Today I: -Woke up one minute before the alarm, from some very strange dreams, and nearly fell out of bed -Did yoga -Returned home to Rockstar parking -Worked Day Jobbe (about which, the less said, the better) -Resisted M&Ms -Did not resist Doritos -Fed/visited doctodd’s cats -Grocery-shopped, forgetting list, but remembered most things -Returned home
Oh, such a nice weekend was had around these parts. Even the weather cooperated. I stayed largely away from the computer, as alert readers might have noticed. Friday was an Absolute Day From Hell at work. It’s like, after they made all that effort to persuade me to stay, they’re now trying as hard as
That podcast I told you about, from those cool folks from Seattle Geekly? It’s live. I’m about 2/3 of the way through the recording (and quite demonstrably wound up from my reading immediately prior!). Jay is right before me, and far cooler. Okay, back to wordcount.
Nothing of significant drama happened today. FTW! Just an astonishing amount of Day Jobbe drudgery, sufficient to make me wonder if I’ve just made a terrible mistake, staying on. All those things I thought I could forget about forever, I now have to avoid for three more months actually deal with. Or some combination of
I’m staying at the Day Jobbe, for the time being. This has been far, far angstier than it should have been, and it’s probably not done yet, but, as of now, I’ve rescinded my notice, printed out the next three months’ calendar and marked all the days I need off (reasonably generously), and am now
Day Jobbe Insanity. So, as I pretty much expected but was still bitterly disappointed to hear, the severance/buyout thing got denied, all the way up to the top, for whatever value of “top” you want to believe…I mean, not the Grand Pubah or any of the Mighty Overlords or anything, but up to the High
Long day, with much of the Short-Timer Syndrome at work. Sigh. Which is, of course, to be expected, but still. Alert readers may remember a Seekrit Project I talked about a while back…progress was made on it today, and I do hope to be able to talk about it soon. Meanwhile, progress was also made
Blah blah blah 5,000 words on OUR LADY blah blah and 2,800 words on “The Hippie Monster of Eel River” and finished and sent to market blah blah laundry groceries orchids carwash other chores yoga blah blah. Don’t you hate those boring update-posts that sound like every other update post? Actually, funny thing: you know
No update on the status of the severance package, but I feel a lot more positive and hopeful today–and a LOT more convinced that I’ve made the right decision. Already I’ve had three offers/inquiries about freelance work. Heh. So, looks like rent will continue to be paid on the Witchnest and food will continue to
