29. August, 2002 - Some days...
- So I realized yesterday that for whatever reason, I'd been a lot more productive this week than I have in a long time. I've been getting a good, solid 6-8 hours of paying work in every day. I'd written a couple essays. I was feeling pretty good about it, but didn't want to jinx it by saying anything. Good thinking. Wednesday comes along, and after ninety minutes of work everything got completely derailed. First there was a tech support call for a friend. Then I needed to go out and get some lunch and groceries. Then I was tired, so I'll take a little nap. A couple hours later, I'm still not up to doing any paying work. And now it's ten in the evening, and other than a far too brief burst of productivity in the morning, all I've discovered is that Minnesota blogger mecawilson writes well, as does Layne in naked girl contemplates dash for newspaper. You can find more blogs from Minnesota over on the right hand side in Scott's Local Interest Section if you need to use up the rest of a day that's not being productive.
The only thing you find in the middle road is a yellow line and a dead armadillo.
