Our Last Chance
Nightmare fuel: new Flash game "One Chance". It will mess with you.
"One Chance" by Awkward Silence games.
Watching Adaptation on Netflix. I'm at home today, but without a deadline I'm sort of adrift. Then again, isn't there always a deadline of some sort or another? Anyway, it's very difficult to re-watch that movie without snapping back to days as a student, a teacher, or anything else where work bleeds aggressively into time-outside-work.
Maybe that's just how I'm supposed to work. Maybe I don't do well when I pretend that I have my own time and interests and needs. Maybe that's just supposed to be wallpaper on top of a general framework of total immersion and self-neglect.
I mean, yes, I finished the Big Work Objective. But it's a long way from being a thing I can feel good about. Ultimately it's an exercise in filing in numbers, with a thin narrative that ultimately will slam against a wall of (here come the old chestnuts) territoriality, silo mentality, risk-aversion, organizational inertia, general ignorance.
It's nice to have a week off, but there's no rejuvenation here. This battery is not recharging.
