Since taking over the India desk, I feel that my creativity has been blocked. We're a team made up of firefighters, prepared to jump into any multitude of tasks at a moments notice. Which means my brain in going in 1000 different technical directions and leaves absolute no room for creativity or daydreaming.
*****************Edited to include: I LOVE MY JOB!!!! :)
So, while I want to write amazing posts about all the funny things that happen in my life, sometimes it feels that I don't have the wherewithal to "get 'er done". And some days I think, "Why did I get myself into writing this thing...it's just an additional task on my never ending to do list..."
That was my attitude this morning...driving into work like a God damn mad woman trying to make an 8'oclock meeting that was scheduled at 7am. I was running through my "to-do" lists for work, the house, the baby and the blog and I realized that I have at least three blog posts that I need to get on paper. Now, if had the life of leisure that I dream of: sitting on my deck in Napa, wearing my straw fedora and sunglasses, looking out on miles of vineyards, drinking wine and writing all day (note - I'd be much funnier if I drank wine all day); this wouldn't be a problem - I could blog in "real-time".
But, I just don't have that lifestyle (yet) and just like any good addiction, I just can't give it up (the blog, not the wine). I get some kind of crazy high from what is created when my fingers type out the gibber-gabber from my brain. And I press forward.
So, my craziness was reassured this morning, when I looked at my desk calender and saw this...it's a sign...to keep going...that it's worth it. YEA!
