I finally fell asleep around 6 AM after tossing and turning for most of the night. It’s going to be weird going back to work tomorrow. Although my passion for work has dwindled significantly, I still have to be professional. Heck… it pays my bills. It’s so easy to get outsourced nowadays. You have to create your own niche and brand. Sometimes I wonder what I would be doing if I wasn’t working for my company. I’ve done nothing productive the last 2 weeks – even a sloth would be more productive than I am. But it felt good and I could get used to this lifestyle.
It's after 2PM now, I think I'll go out and enjoy the sunny weather. It's my last day out in the free world before I resume my life as a corporate whore tomorrow. I got to reclaim my own little street corner before it gets outsourced.
Oddly enough, I was watching Oprah yesterday. I'm probably one of the few guys that watch her. She was talking openly about her weight gain and the need to find more balance in her life. That really struck a chord with me. I think I also want to write better. I've never thought writing would give me so much joy but it does.

i had a hard time sleeping last night too. i basically took short little cat naps all night and kept waking up; i couldn't shut my mind off enough to get a good night's sleep. i'm editing a paper at work today... hopefully my edits make sense when i come back to read them later!
shudder... yes work. but yeah it pays the bills.. keep saving your money and then you won't have to be such a slave, i reckon.
what are you going to do next with your writing? all the best
Writing is sooo important and therapeutic, and so is Oprah! We could all use more balance in our lives. Very wise words.
@kunhuo42 - I hope you sleep better tonight.
@stepaside_loser - I'm going to see what night courses are available.
@jasonbasin - sometimes I feel like I'm the only guy that watches Oprah.
Okay I have to admit I slept well last night. Well, for about 3 hours and then looked at the clock. Maybe it was something in the air. Aliens - that is it! We were being scanned!!!
haha corporate whore. :]
You only got around 8 hours of sleep? I don't understand why you're not back in bed, getting some more rest before going back to work tomorrow. =(
@Fatcat723 - aliens, I knew it! Time to put back those aluminum foils on my windows.
@Devilzgaysianboi - actually I woke up around 11:30. The trouble is if I sleep all day, I won't be able to sleep at night.
I Tivo Oprah, but haven't watched it yet.
I thought you were going to look for a new job!?
The only guy who watches Oprah? Yeah, and you must think you're the only guy who is attracted to men, too. =P
Your writing is a pleasure to read, Matt, and I hope it is just as meaningful for you to write.
@CareyGLY - it didn't work out.
@christao408 - well, sometimes it feels like it. Heck, even my bf doesn't watch her.
I'm worse than a sloth too...
