So much time...too little direction.
Oy. Y'know, it just figures -- I had something in my head to share with you all, but the thought got lost somewhere in the login process. I hate it when that -- wait! There it is...
If there is one thing I learned in my retail experience, it is that THERE IS ALWAYS SOMETHING TO DO. In other words, don't just stand around waiting. Organize, clean, create a useful project, etc.
While waiting to hear about potential employment, I've been redesigning my pitifully dull and outdated Web site. There's nothing I love more than sitting in front of my ridiculously huge computer -- Radiohead playing on my headphones, coffee mug at the ready, seemingly endless supply of yogurt snacks -- doing something creative.
Unfortunately, I have other tasks to complete today. And they require that I peel my butt off the office chair, bathe, get dressed, and go out into this raw, rainy day. Bleh.
I asked Jlew to leave her laptop behind for me today, in the hopes that I will get some other work done "off-site". I really should be going through SpeakOut evalutations and compiling some quotes for future use -- we have a board meeting today and I would like to show that I have in fact been doing something useful. But I know that if I do it at home, I'll be distracted by my fun work.
Deciding where to do this has been a challenge in itself. Someplace that requires the least amount of effort and distraction, considering the weather and the amount of work that I should be doing. Someplace warm (we've been keeping the the thermostat low -- damn oil prices) and quiet. I'd love to go to the Brookline main library, it's really neat, but I'd have to pay for parking and that's a drag.
Y'know what? This is turning into the most tedious blog entry ever! I'm stalling! Enough typing! Time to go.
