Bored At Work

[peterhsu]

It's good to be inport. The 16 hour days of being underway were long and tough to deal with. On the one hand you get used to constantly smelling like sweat, fuel, and oil, you get used to working your ass off week after week. At the same time, there's a point when you get fed up and really don't want to take it anymore. You will, because you can and you have to, but that doesn't mean you don't long for dry land and short work days.

I'm a little afraid that I'm going to be so unoccupied that I'll waste away. I don't really do anything productive in my free time. I'm not very good at forcing myself to do things that I don't want to do. I usually accomplish things by setting it up so I'm forced to accomplish it. For example, my homepage was created in less than five days because I needed to present it as my English class project. I'm drinking far too much and that's really sucking up my time. I'm good at not causing trouble when I'm drunk, and I'm good at acting sober, but I've realized that my judgement when I'm drinking is not as good as I thought it was. Still, I haven't done anything more than slightly stupid and I don't think I really will.

I'm worried about a good friend of mine, someone I haven't seen as much of as I would like.
