I should have really thanked the security guards at the office more profusely. How many times have they turned a blind eye to my slipper-clad feet, my missing office ID, my bulky backpack (I 'steal' the office laptop at times so I can work from home) and most of all, my erratic working times? On most days, I would be at the office by 6:30 in the AM. The time I leave really depends on the situation, but I take physiological cues. When my back hurts...it's time to go home. When I can't focus my eyes anymore... it's time to go home. When I'm on the verge or in the state of tears...it's time to go home. When the amount of work I have makes me a nauseous nervous wreck...it's time to go home. Those times could be anywhere from 4PM to 11:30 PM. My threshold really is flexible.
But now well it's day 1 of a new era. I've said this many many times in my life and I always make it to be true. The life and times du jour are going to be extraordinary and still. By still I mean, it won't be of reckless abandon or fast times. It'll just be here. This. Me and my books. Me and my writing paraphernalia. Me and my music. Me and the moment. This.
