» busy To wake up on a Saturday morning with the sun shining brightly down to warm you through the window has to be one of the more pleasant reveilles on the list. It's the first weekend of December and the mild and mostly pleasant pre-holiday anxiety is beginning to grip me. Today I must carry out all of my planned chores. (Using the word "chores" makes me feel like I'm living on a farm in the Midwest, which might be quite nice, actually.) A-hem...Today I must endeavor to complete my small list of errands. (That's better.) This list includes the most mundane of all human labors: laundry. Paying rent, making some household purchases and beginning the process of X-mas xhopping are included. Tomorrow, however, on the day normally reserved for complete slothfulness, I will be heading into the office for a full day of work. I'm doing some HTML work as a personal favor for a friend, and that is the most stress you can take on. I'm thinking about leaving my post as a editor (and manager with two employees) and returning to the world of HTML coding and site development. I'd be jumping the track away from the "management" roles, and toward the more dead-end development roles, and that means that I'm putting a limit on the amount of salary I can ever hope to see. But I feel much happier writing code. Part of the problem is that I am friends with the people I wound up managing. That makes for some unpleasant situations. So, this weekend, and week, are going to be very busy, and I want to have a chance to relax, but even if I had the time, it would be hard to do with all these tasks hanging over me. But I'm not complaining at all. Things in general are going remarkably well (thus the complete lack of entries for almost a month.) I'm feeling generally contented; I'll be visiting family in just 20 days and having a wonderful time; I have a visit from a wonderful woman to look forward to over the New Year... Now if only I knew where my kid-sister had gotten to. |||
