Sloth is the Mind Killer
Have you ever had one of those weekends when you have the whole house to yourself and tons of things you were going to do and all you end up doing is sitting in front of the computer dreading the fact that you're not getting any of those things done?
I need to mow the lawn, but I thought I just heard thunder so I'm going to give that a couple of hours and see what develops.
I have some specs to read. It's the beginning of the release cycle at work, and I've got like a week to transform myself into an expert on LDAP and RADIUS and worm detection. I need to get cracking on the LDAP book, but haven't had enough coffee yet. Also got a stack of 2600 back issues, but if I go there I'll get sucked in all day. Maybe if I put them in the bathroom where they'll be close at hand...but they don't belong to me, they belong to the company, so that's kinda gross.
Home network needs some work. Need to put Spybot on the wife's computer, and secure her laptop so she doesn't come home from PJ's Coffee with the clap.
Oh, and since veggie wife is out of town, that means the dog and I get to eat steak tonight, which means I have to go to the store.
I swore I was going to get the car washed in March, but now it's mid-April. Waitin' on that thunderstorm.
I need to visit the boys at Liar's Club, but that will make me feel guilty about not doing the writing I was supposed to do. Fucking Step 4. I've got writer's block. But I manage to write in my blog. Go figure.
I owe Eileen a phone call and an email. Owe Doxy a long email. Owe Sarah a long email. Need to call my mom. Need to do laundry, and clean my office which I said I would do once the taxes were done.
Need to go to the gym, even though my knee fucking hurts again and so I am going to have to stop doing real leg exercises and go back to the physical therapy exercises again. Which means my fledgling ghetto booty is going to whither and die again....
....and so Saturday ticks by and nothing gets done, but I don't feel like I'm relaxing because nothing is done yet. And about 3:00 tomorrow afternoon I will suddenly rush around like a whirlwind and do a half-assed job at half of these things and blow off the rest, and Monday I will be as behind as ever and just wishing the family would go out of town one of these weekends so I would have some uninterrupted time to get shit done.
