Where's Mama?
I had a busy day today, so I bought a man a fish. Just kidding. I had one of those days where lots of people need lots of things and suddenly the day is over.
The lesson for today:
Whenever I need to provide data to someone, I should pause, breathe, consider, then build a report rather than running an ad-hoc query. The next time they need it, I’ll be laughing. Really. And looking smug.
I woke up last night at 2:30 in the morning thinking about work. I have to admit at the moment I’m finding it a little hard to shut off at the end of the workday. Generally even if I succeed in slapping work out of my conscious mind, I just end up with lots buzzing around at the back of my head, which can make it a little tricky pretending to be human in my free time.
I think this comes down to a slightly painful truth – if a job is worth doing, then it has to be more than just a job. If it’s more than just a job, then you naturally end up quite absorbed, in which case it’s very hard to shut off.
The solution is probably to throw myself with equal energy into something unrelated outside work, but that almost requires energy, concentration and dedication outside of work that I’m having trouble with right now. Right then, Guitar Hero it is.
