Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Sky
Geeze it's hot.
I am stuck on the road today for several appointments and my poor car can't take much more. The engine is fine (rebuilt just about 18 months ago and running like a top) but the transmission is suspect and the AC is inadequate ... as I imagine most ACs are on days like this.
At exactly this moment I am tucked away in a Panera Bread where the AC is adequate, the water is ice cold and the internet is provided freely to all with wireless laptops.
The office was moved last Saturday ... all set up and ready to go. But that did make for a very long weekend. What with tackling the yard (most of it) on Sunday. And yesterday was a long one ... did not get home until 9:00 p.m. And it's hot. Therefore I will invoke the ultimate privilege of self-employment: I hereby grant myself 4 hours of vacation time tomorrow morning. Sleep, golf, write ... whatever I want to do so long as it is not work and I cannot be reached by telephone. All in favor, say "Aye." All opposed, same sign. Motion carries.
Well, that was hardly worth the effort to type, but there it is nonetheless.
There is nothing really weighty on my mind right now. I am continuing to debate my involvement in the networking group. I am getting very few leads, providing even fewer leads, and my heart is miles away from the goal of community with the other group members. In short, I am somewhat of a parasite on the group right now. But then again, the scant other membership consists equally of the parasite mindset. In fact, looking around with even marginal awareness I note that the group is on death's doorstep and has been for well over a year. It has been on death's doorstep for so long I am rather convinced it has already expired. That would make us less parasites and more ... what is the word for animals that eat dead carcasses? ... scavengers, I think.
Anyway, I will continue to evaluate the group.
Other than that I am somewhat distressed and somewhat burdened by my schedule. I feel that I must regain some marketing perspective or I will soon be out of work, even though I am overwhelmingly busy at the moment.
Well, that's enough. I don't have anything of an introspective or thoughtful purpose, so I am not going to keep just thinking "out loud" onto my keyboard. Good grief. Read a book or work out a Sudoku puzzle instead.
