Bad is Good

I saw this story on how bad habits can help your career. I think this is funny. I work for a company that is all about TV. I have had a TV in my cube for years now. This year I have been playing Fantasy Football as part of my job. Understanding Flickr, blogging, and the Web 2.0 has helped me in my job. My job and my hobbies seem to go hand in hand at time.

For a few years I have said that my laziness helped me at my job. My laziness would help me and customer support be more efficient. Being lazy keeps me from over working problems. People can really waste time when they do not know what is important. It is a waste of resources to be prepared for everything that could happen. My laziness has helped me figure out what is worth customer support spending time on. I think that this is a bad habit that has been good for my career.

The day after the trip

I have wasted most of today. I did get out of bed before 8 AM, but I did not do much with my time. I spent most of the day watching TV. That is the problems with having so many TiVos in my living room. I had too many good things to watch. Television has always been a big time suck with me. I just never seem to get away from it.

I talked with Jeremy on the Phone for a little while. There were a lot of things that I felt on my trip. They are the kinds of things that I usually talk to Jeremy about. I tried to talk about them, but I just could not find the words this time.

There are about a dozen things that I could have done today. I only did unimportant things. I keep on telling myself that I am going make better use of my time. I am just not sure how to do that.

Empty Mind

It is late on Saturday morning. I have been lying around my apartment all morning. I watched a little TV, surfed the net, and listened to music. I have not done anything constructive. I have not worked on any of my writing project, cleaned my apartment, or done any laundry. I have not done the things that I set aside for the weekend.

I am looking at my computer like it is a prison. I have to labor to come up with things to write. I have to work to just sit here at all. It should be easier then this. I should be happy to sit in front of my computer and wire. The problem is that I am not. It is not like there is some place else I would rather be. I just do not want to do anything. I have no motivation at all. I just want to wait for something better to happen. That is a bad way to look at things.

I know I will squeeze a couple of things out of my head today. I know I will be able to find the right way to write about them today. It is just hard to not want to write. It is hard not to want to do anything. I feel there should be a thousand things bumping around my head. I think I should have too many things to write about. Right now I am going to step back from my computer and think of things to write about. Maybe I will come up with something good.
