Okay, so confession time. The only reason that I've kept this up so long is that I'm using even semi-keeping up with this as an excuse to work on the other two websites I started. I'm doing a lot of offline work on them over the last couple of weeks, but I'm afraid that if I don't keep this going, I won't finish all this other work and will never get any farther on the other two than I am right now. I know, it sounds silly, but you don't know me ;)
But at least I've been holding up my end of the deal. you guys are supposed to be stopping me from going into work on off-days. Yes, I did it again today. It was such a beautiful day out today, too, I had plans to go lay out in the sun, maybe work on getting a little color early if it was warm enough....But no, I said "sure, I'll come in for a couple hours to do a couple little things." I figured I'd still have plenty of time to play out in the sun, go do stuff, whatever.
So it went from last night's "sure, I'll come in for a couple hours" to "yeah, I can stay an extra hour or two" to "We need you to stay to cover a couple of lunches" to "Well this person and this person both have some other projects that they have to do, you have to stay until 8:30 at least." Want to know what the big projects were? Sorting three copies of next week's schedule, and filling up the little office supply spinner thingy with the pens, pencils, tacks, paperclips, etc. Guess who left before I did? Ayup.
So now, here I sit, the day's completely wasted, my friends have all gone out already, so I'm writing to you, drinking a beer and scanning scanning scanning. Next week I'm scheduled for six days, so I want you people calling me on my day off (either tuesday or wednesday, I forget now) and making sure I'm still here and not at work!!
I sometimes think that part of the problem I have in keeping up with this is that I'm writing TO someone, not someone specific, but not like I'm just writing to noone like a journal would normally be. I almost think maybe I should've kept this a bit more incognito until I got more used to the idea of writing whatever was in my head instead of trying to come up with things to write. I'm generally a pretty quiet person, not necessarily reticent, but not entirely forthcoming with a lot of info. That makes it tougher for me to write when I know other people are reading, I suppose.
Don't get me wrong, I'm glad that I know a few people are reading it, and I think it's pretty fuck-me-freddy (new stephen king novel, sorry!) cool that there's people out there reading it that I _don't_ know at all, I don't even know exist, save for the ticking of the counter on the first page.
Well, Babylon 5 movie coming on. Oooooooooohhhhhhhh, the Gathering. I love this show. It's such a great show, but you have to take it altogether, not as a normal show with individual episodes, but all as part of a definite whole. I don't want to get much into it now, I'm gonna go watch, I'm sure I'll tell any of you that don't know about it later ;) |
