Yesterday was a complete wash. I wanted to do some testing for a PTQ next weekend, but most of my Magic-playing friends in fact have girlfriends or are married. So I tried doing work that I don't do during the week, so that I can make time to leave work early during the week to play Magic guilt-free... but that ended up being more or less a wash since I vegged out on college basketball and Facebook (not unlike I do when I'm at work during the week).
I played some MODO, took a shitload of Tylenol Cold or whatever it was I picked up, (I stopped taking it at the end of the night, but I'm still a little sick, so I guess I'm finishing the box today) and I continued to veg out despite me having things that needed to get done or were infinitely better than watching TV, like reading or writing or coding.
Dammit, if only I could create a true sense of urgency like I would have in college (I need to finish this homework in X hours or I will get a 0...). As stressful as it would be, I would definitely be more productive if we were sprinting at work with hard deadlines for projects and checkpoints, as "corporate" as that sounds (and doesn't everyone hate corporations?).
So today, since I don't have enough motivation to test for Magic (hardly enough motivation to go to Vancouver next weekend for the PTQ since I've done no preparation, although it would be something to do and it's always good times), I will be staying home and attempt to do today what I failed to do yesterday. Sigh...
