There's a Light, and Hopefully It's a Spark

It is no secret among my friends that I have been busy with work: tomorrow begins week six of another 50 - 60 hour work week. There is light at the end of the tunnel within the next two weeks, however, so I am really pushing hard to get through my busy schedule.

I will make this admission: I did not always have to be as busy as I am. A portion of my extra work hours were by no means the "required" overtime, but rather extra time that I have been spending to studying for my projects; learning new ASP.NET best-practices, tinkering with custom reports, etc. To be honest, I simply want to give my employer the best work that I can, so the extra time is certainly worth it. I am leaning a lot, after all.

Once I am out of the woods and able to get back to a more-normal schedule, I have some major things planned: first and foremost, rearranging my "normal" schedule. With spring slowly-but-surely bringing Northwest Ohio out of a bitter ice age, I will be spending more time outside. Secondly I will be tackling the next set of my 2011 goals, especially the item that reads "write a goddamn short story for fuck's sake." I was actually working on two pieces of short fiction right before work cranked up and took over my life, so I will be getting back to those soon. I am going to be making a big push this spring to find inspiration again - to find a spark for my dead creative flame.

Two weeks. I am counting two weeks, at the most, to my freedom and a total reset of my schedule.

B3 out.
