Two and a half months, eh? That’s a long time with no writing. Better get back on the old horse and see what I can dredge up as writing-worthy experiences here at the ol’ weekly newspaper.
Seems to me, when I was in high school, then college, then immediately out of college I had a tremendous amount of time on my hands. Not suggesting that I lorded it over people, but I sort of sat smuggly back from time to time and thought about all the things that were for my own amusement.
Flash forward to now and I can’t seem to find enough time to do the things I’ve contractually signed myself up for, let alone for pure enjoyment. When I work a full day at the paper, go home, and have just enough time to eat before I have to attend a meeting at church or mow the lawn I begin to understand what it means to not have enough time.
On the other hand, I’m not the most efficient person in the world, as I have attested to before. I find plenty of time throughout the day to catch up on the Language Log or *wink, wink* write a blog post. But generally I find that there aren’t enough hours in the day for what I would like to get done or have done to me.
But now it’s back to work!
