The Suckage

Jan 19, 2006 21:34

I do believe that my job is turning my brain to mush. I stare at the computer screen for 8 hours a day, scanning scientific papers for errors, and click-click-click my mouse. I need to work on a creative project, but I'm in a slump because I am so drained from work. I'm not saying that I hate this job (yet), but I do believe that it's sucking the creative juices out of me. I need a jumpstart. About the only thing that keeps me going at work is putting on the headsets and listening to This American Life. If you happen to find some time in your day to listen to some great radio journalism I suggest going into their "our favorites" archive and listening to "Superpowers" and "Classifieds". I feel like I'm getting smarter, but not having to work at it.

And if you your first reaction to that last sentence was, "What is she talking about? Loser..." I apologize.

My brain is velveeta on soggy stale chips.
