Like I told you, no new year’s resolutions here. I’ve been working 4/10’s recently, which leads to a lot of somewhat unexpected side effects. Main among them being that during the work week I have approximately 4 hours every day that I’m not at work, asleep, or in the car. So some things tend to fall by the wayside, such as, well, everything. But then I have 72 uninterrupted hours every week in which have to do absolutely not a damn thing, and that’s something I’ve gotten used to far too quickly.

Basically, my entire lifestyle has changed, though not necessarily for the better, or the worse. It’s simply a matter of priorities. My main priority during the week is work, even when at home my main task is to get enough rest to be able to make it through ten hours the next day. I have to be at bare minimum pleasant to over 200 strangers, not all of them pleasant themselves, while also doing my actual job, which can be insanely complex in itself sometimes.

Then I get three whole days to do whatever I want, such as squish two large databases into one or rewrite old scripts and HTML from scratch or watch 5 hours of last week’s TV or have sex for two hours. All of which I did today. So, you know, it balances. So far.
