why do today what you can do tonight?
too bad the inclement weather policies at work aren’t as chicken-little-esque as those of the local school districts. despite a couple feet of snow over the weekend, zenimax is open for business on monday. the schools, on the other hand, had their few remaining days of 2009 cancelled. so while the kids are free to fritter and frolic the day away, daddy has to be productive.
but daddy has to be productive from home – the aforementioned two feet of snow still cover the smaller roads in my neck of the woods, and a lovely cocktail of ice and slush cover the larger ones. so get everybody bundled up and out of the house, put on my fuzzy slippers, and close the studio curtains to shut out the sight of all the sledding, snowballs fights, and assorted winter wonderland fun i’m missing.
pick up the acoustic guitar, strum some chords, try and construct something melancholy…over the shrieks of joy coming from just outside. everything i play keeps coming out so damned…happy. heh, guess i’ll have to run with it – time to write some “happy tavern music” or something. or maybe postpone the whole endeavor until night falls. yeah…i should do that…that way i’ll be in a more proper frame of mind…and that way i can squeeze in some tubing before we lose the sun.
yep. another success story in self-management!
