Days Off

Tomorrow is supposed to be my day off and what will I do?

I've never been good with day's off—especially in winter. I like days off. Relaxation is good. However, in order for me to truly relax I need to clear my plate. Relaxation happens for me with a clear plate and a clear mind.

My plate at the office never seems to be completely clear. Always deadlines. Always paperwork. Always something. Business in the publishing industry is a little slow. So if I take the day off, I'll be sitting at home thinking I should be doing something more productive than watching TV.

I watch enough TV. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy TV, but I watch enough. What else can I do? Go Shopping? I don't need anything. Go for a walk? To darn cold. Visit friends? It's the holidays and everyone is visited out. So when it come right down to it what I'd be doing on my day off is watching TV.

So, what will I do tomorrow? I'll sleep in, go for a good breakfast, go into the office and get a good days work done. I'll get 7 hours of work done in about 4 hours. No interruptions. No e-mails. No phone calls. No questions to answer. 

If it was summer. The decision would be different.

2011: New Year, First Website

So it's a brand new year and I've started a new website. My first personal website. I've created websites before, of course, but for work. For other people to express what they've needed to express. It's always been a collaborative thing. This is mine, and mine alone. Opinions expressed will be mine. So, what do i want to do with this website? What do I want to post? I don't really know. It's just something that I felt I needed to do.

After joining twitter this year, and meeting lots of great people, I realized Twitter is great for short pithy comments. I work well in short bursts, but there were times when I wanted to say so much more that 140 characters would allow. So here I am. New year. New website.

Cheers to 2011
