Burningbird: Today is for Working

Today is for Working

The best part of getting up early is watching the sun rise.

Today is for working, it is. Today is for nose down and finishing tasks and making milestones. I've marked out in my mind tasks to accomplish with each new position of the sun. The sun's "here", this is done. The sun's "there", that is done. The sun sets, and finished tasks will lay all about me, littering my desk but not my mind.

No time for play or foolishness today. Politics must wait, and beauty must sit on hold. Because today is for working, it is.

G'morning Bb. Nice pic. But that's all I'm saying so as to not interrupt your work day. ;)

Have a fine, productive day Bb. Let's hope your Macintosh can cope with the pressure. Still, if the going gets really tough, you have Linux running on the Dell.

Morning, Bb. I have a lot to do, too--I'll try to remember that I'm not the only one with my shoulder to the wheel. Got to finish my work and get Nate off to college. . . .

It is still possible to work and appreciate beauty at the same time, you know.

So Bb, it's evening now. Did you accomplish everything you wanted to?

Unfortunately not, Ryan.

Unfortunately, I just lost an entire chapter's worth of work trying to merge two Microsoft Word documents into one and accidentally overwriting the wrong chapter.

Missed my editorial mark.

Dangit. Sorry to hear that. I know the feeling...I lost 1/3 of a paper last Fall a few days before it was due.

I. *Hate*. Word.

And now I hate it even more. Sorry, Bb.
