anatomy of a day

0530: Alarm clock goes off. Get up and shower.

0600: Get on the phone with londo. Hop online to check email and weather for the day. Get dressed, eat breakfast (these days, a waffle with peanut butter and jelly and a container of yogurt), make lunch (sandwich, piece of fruit, etc).

0700: Ride bike to subway station station, take subway to bus to work. Read newspaper (Boston Metro) on trip.

0800: Arrive at work. Check voicemail if necessary. Run spyware-checking programs (because there's ALWAYS something nasty - this computer is so full of bugs it's disgusting.) Read LJ friends' list. File while reading Penny Arcade.

0900: Stomach begins rumbling. Continue having nothing to do but read Penny Arcade and go through old files to make sure they're in numerical order.

1000: Tea break. Caffeinated if possible.

1130: Take mail to mail room, return with incoming mail. Sort.

1200: Lunch! Go outside on the lawn if possible. Eat quickly and attempt to nap for the remaining hour.

1300: Return to office. Continue having nothing to do.

1500: Check auto-fax machine to see if all faxes have gone through.

1700: Leave office. Catch bus to subway. Ride bike home from subway station.

1800: Feed cats and self. Collapse at computer. Look for friends to chat with. Do necessary errands. Ponder quality of life when almost 1/2 a day is spent invested in work and another 1/4 (which should be 2/3 1/3) on sleep. Wonder about alternation options so I can avoid spending my life on a schedule like this and still have resources necessary for comfortable, happy living.

2130: When I should go to bed.

2300: When I generally go to bed.

blahs

You know, it's feasible for me to go to Worcester tonight. Pack quickly and leave soon and catch the 8:20 train to Worcester, get to his house at 10, take a quick shower and fall asleep at 10:30. Wake up at 4:30 when he gets home, and leave at 5:30 to catch the 6:05 train back to Boston.

But you know what? That is a lot of work - and $12 - for just an hour of time. It is a waste. That and it's stupid of me to 'solve' a bad mood by running to Worcester (even discounting that I have things like cleaning the kitchen that I could do). The best thing to do for myself is figure out a way to cheer up by myself. It's a good skill to have.

I thought that when I had a tighter schedule, I'd get more done because I'd feel the crunch.

Ah well.

( lyrics to the song listed below )

I long for impassioned direction.
