Working again...
After such a prolonged period of unemployment, it's great to be working again, interacting with smart tech folks again, and the bawdy bunch in the shop. What's NOT so great, is how little time is left over for quiet contemplation, fantasy worlds, creative writing, and just relaxing.
Leaving the computer glasses downstairs in the briefcase doesn't help.. the eyes just want to fall closed, but I blame the mental juggling act that I must do all day, to get my project ready to ship: finishing assembly details, troubleshooting things that don't work quite right, making sure the documents match the physical reality. By the time I get home, the brain just wants to rest.
Those bills I was planning to pay tonight? Got 'em out of the envelopes. That's progress, right?
