  • still here... lurking

    It's Friday night.  One of the few times I've been on Xanga for over 10 minutes.  I've got laundry going on in the background as well.   My work laptop is waiting for me.  I'm dealing with some organizational changes at work.  While my manager and job hasn't changed.   There are different "dotted line" responsibilities and reporting.  It's sort of like being in an open relationship but you don't get to pick your partners. 

    I write a lot at work.  When I come home, the last thing I want to do is write.  But I need to find some quiet time for this.  I'm also looking around for a writing course (suggestions welcomed).  It's probably long overdue and something I should seriously explore.   I was writing a report the other day at work and struggled with the tone.  I wanted to strike the right balance between concise and complete.  No one else understood what I meant. 

    Writing will take time and discipline - two things in very short supply right now.  I'm also getting measured on my time this year.  It's sort of like being a lawyer or a consultant.   I have to document my billable hours.  There's a target that we have to attain.  

    So it's back to work for another hour before I call it a night.  I'm lucky - someone forgot to send me the meeting notice for a call tomorrow.  

    Oh yeah, I went for a walk the other night.  It was cold and there was a good breeze.  It was just strong enough to make me walk fast.  I noticed a young woman panhandling.  She was sitting on the sidewalk in front of a pizza place.  She was holding a sign "Smile If you Masturbate".   I didn't smile.  

    I hope to catch up on your entries soon.
