[blog] Workus Interruptus Part 2
It's kind of odd to think that the things that frustrate us come down to 1. The Thing About Which We Do Not Talk and 2. Cigarettes perpetually going out1. I can't tell you how many times in the past 48 hours that I've lit a cigarette only to stop to write a few sentences and then have it be out by the time I get back to it mere seconds later.
Smoking these days is an exercise in futility.
We should probably quit but, well, see item 1 on the frustrating things list. When that resolves itself (while I sit here and be deliberately vague about it), we'll probably at least cut back on it.
Also, there's just something that feels right about smoking, drinking coffee and being creative. I'm not sure, maybe it's just the classic image of writers and artists.
In the few minutes that it's taken me to write this, my cigarette has gone out twice. The second time, I didn't bother to relight it. See! I can be taught.
1 For the record, number 3 is unexpectedly cold coffee.
