Slowing down...

It really doesn't matter that, technically, I ought to be fresh as a daisy, mentally speaking. I've spent the better part of an hour struggling with two words, only to conclude - after an exhaustive grammatical study of case endings - that my initial impression of what those words meant was absolutely, 100% what it should have been, and why, exactly, was I wasting time like this?

It's probably not as bad as all that; over the 50 minutes between word counts, I managed to translate just under 400 words. Overall, I've squandered the lead I built up yesterday, placing me just about exactly 67% of the way through the document (though there is that pesky secondary assignment to consider).

* * *In a desperate attempt to prove that there is something to my life other than work...

I find that I've allowed myself to wallow in my Facebook profile, which eventually led me to one of those sites - you known, the ones trying to sell you something using a page that's got about 800 screenfuls of repetitive information, all working up to a super offer with at least two levels of upsell attached to it.

(Sites like that fascinate me, but not because I am repelled by them, necessarily. Heck, there are times I wonder what it'd take to "join the club," so to speak!)

And having said that, it's apparent that my bedtime is long overdue!

Cheers...

Status, and a decision...

As of just moments ago, the item due in... about 10 minutes has been sent and I have about 750 words left in the 10K job due tomorrow at 10 am. I am highly inclined to knock off for the day and to resume work on the nearly finished job tomorrow morning.

It has been raining on and off today (which seems to be basically a continuation of the past few days... it is wet out there!) with intervals of thunder and lightning.

On the how-I'm-personally-feeling front, I haven't felt the need to nap all day, nor have I felt anything other than normal for the entire time I've been sitting at my desk (or grilling pork ribs late this afternoon, or inhaling a bagel this morning).

One thing I have noticed in passing is that my appetite - or at least my consumption - is of noticeably smaller volume than that of Galina. (There's no editorial there, just an observation.)

So, if I am to knock off - there goes the thunder, again - I should probably do so now.

Cheers...
