I worked 5 hours today. I could've worked more, but I didn't. I always feel guilty when I'm not doing something at work, it feels like stealing. I think it's because I know the owner pretty well and he used to work with my Dad. Anyway I try to think of it of dead time as a time of low productivity and when I was working that was higher than average productivity and so it averages out, but it still feels wrong. And if I'm not feeling guilty, I feel like I could be doing something better with my time. While I could be doing something better, chances are, if I were not at work I'd just be reading the Maltese Falcon, watching TV, surfin' the 'net, or beating my Dad at every video game every invented. I work under a guy who's a sophomore in college and he runs out of stuff for me to do, so I have to make up things to do, just look around and try to come up with new tasks. Like today, I organized a year's worth of packing slips by date. There were about 1000 of them. (I did get really good at filing and sorting, so if you need something filed or sorted, let me know). The frustrating part is that they will go back to the same corner they were in, sitting unused, except they are now organized.

Talking about my times at my job reminds me of college. Its basically down to K-State or Washburn. I have 6K from K-State and Washburn hasn't got back to me, but I guessing I could get a similar amount to cover tuition and fees there. I see KSU as offering a more unique and explorative experience, but I see going to WU as giving me a financial edge entering the workforce. The prospect of getting out of college debt-free and with a nice amount of money to start with, is very enticing. So financially, Washburn, but college experience K-State, so that's my quandry. If anybody has advice about this, silly or serious, please post a comment. I'd be happy to hear anything that might help me make a decision.
