Wow, I let Thursday and Friday slip right by without so much as a quickie post. Sorry about that, folks.
Motivation is ebbing right now, and it’s been a little tough to get off my butt and write something… although I do appreciate the hog-related news and other info some of you have sent.
For the first time in over a decade, I’m feeling the pinch of unemployment. Since I’m self-employed as a consultant (I do instructional design and development work), I’m used to being “between projects”. That’s a regular part of this kind of work. But never before have I found myself in the position I’m in now, where the opportunities simply aren’t coming in. It’s been a few months, and my financial “security padding” is almost all used up. So yeah, I’m starting to sweat it a little.
Anyway, not to whine or anything, as I know a lot of folks have it a lot worse than I do right now… but it’s funny how, the less work I have to do, the less motivated I am to do other things, like blogging. Yesterday was the first beautiful, sunny day in weeks, and instead of getting out to ride the horse or something, I sat here in front of the computer and TV like a lump. … and still didn’t write a blog entry! D’oh!
Our old friend John (formerly of Hunting with Jim) found himself in a similar position, so he and some of his friends found a new outlet in blogging… check out Unemploymentality if you get half a chance. Good, poignant, and sometimes funny stuff.
So, against John’s sage advice, I think I’m gonna order me a Snuggie, log onto Facebook, and hibernate in self-pity.
A Snuggie?
Just give in and have one more time-sucking internet connection to the world!
I’ve played that video six times. You made my day.
Now if I would only write something on my blog instead of watching that video over and over.
