It's been awhile.
My blogging capabilities have been severely limited recently due to a) my apartment building's free wifi, like, NEVER EVER working, and b) all the crazy projects I've been slogging through while chained to my desk.
The funny thing is I'd actually be pretty into these projects if I weren't so pressed for time, and if my magnanimous coworkers didn't flatter me by assuming I am more knowledgeable/skilled/quick than I am. As it is, though, I've got no time to breathe this month, my resolution to go to the gym at least three times a week is becoming a joke, and my normal, nonchallenging but still somewhat important tasks are getting pushed aside. And I feel simultaneously exhausted and frustrated at how much work I'm doing and how slowly my projects are going, and guilty that I'm not doing more. Not to mention I'm driving myself crazy having to push back finish dates for projects; my hatred of being late for anything is pathological.
This situation coupled with the aforementioned lame wifi is tempting me to just go ahead and pay for internet. As much as I hate to sign any kind of telecommunications contract (why is it that phone/internet/cable companies have the worst customer service and the most devious fine print in the world?), I'm thinking it might be nice to be able to:
-leave work at a normal time
-go to the gym
-check my email at home
-work some more once I'm in my PJs and relaxed
I think it might go a long way towards assuaging my current work burnout. At the moment, though, my brain cells are all screaming for a vacation and the closest thing I've got coming up is a very short trip over Memorial Day weekend. And there's just so much to get done before May 22nd...
All in all, I can already tell that I'm going to be scarfing down a lot of pastries from the Tattered Cover cafe this month. Today's goodie? Possibly the most delicious peanut butter chocolate chunk cookie ever baked.
