hello again

This time last week, I was recovering from the pillows concert. Instead of rockin' the usual summer laziness, I worked downtown from 8 til 5:30... data entry... x##### click click select ctrl+c click ctrl+v click click click click tab shift-tab repeat, about 3000 times. At least I'm getting free lunches...

I'd be writing more, but this is the first time I am facing direct assault by the corporate machine I've been avoiding all my life. Earlier in the week I slept in preparation, and this was not enough--I only worked two days this week, and I came home absolutely exhausted this evening--exhausted from an absolute lack of variation. That the most efficient way of copying a project from one database to another requires both mouse and keyboard means there is no room for me to actively multitask. And efficient is what I am trying to prove--that I can complete my task excelled far beyond any 30-something degree-holding data-entrist so I won't have to suffer as long while "building my resume."

Fortunately, now that I am at home, I am in a location where I can play console RPGs in peace--no worry of roommates coming in and out fourteen times over the course of a session, always working against the magic charm of immersion the better titles can produce.

... my ACen 2k5 post-mortem has been half-way drafted since Wednesday.

yeah, I should get back into the habit of this thing.
