Fuck Interesting
Wow. What a life it has become. I wish I could update you on everything that’s gone on, but everything that’s going on prohibits me from actually doing so. You’ll get some updates, but I’m afraid it’s not gonna be in the short term, because all of a sudden I find myself under incredible time stress.
There are really five major demands on my time. The first is this new job, which as consulting jobs go really hasn’t been bad so far.
The second is that at about the same time as I started work, a very close friend was hospitalized. I’m not going to get into the details of that, but I’ll be setting up a filter for posts relating to that, if I ever find the time to write them.
Between those two things, I’ve literally spent all my time either at work, at the hospital, or sleeping (and sleep time has already been cut by 50 percent).
On top of that, my final class in my graphic design program has started, and I’ve already fallen behind. Getting caught up is going to be a huge struggle from now through mid-August, when the class ends.
Then there’s my annual cancer charity ride, which is only six weeks away. I have to really get back into training mode, and start raising some money. I usually start at the end of May, but so far this year I’ve only raised $20 out of the $3,000 I need. Fortunately, at least I’m not responsible for it until the middle of October, even if the ride takes place in August.
And, of course, there’s a bunch of DargonZine work that came out of our 2005 Writers’ Summit, which is the topic for another post that I have been hoping to make.
So I’m here, but I haven’t been under this kind of stress in a long, long time. I’m really hopelessly swamped right now. Maybe I should be making more use of LJ’s post-by-phone facility.
