I am a freelancer in the publishing industry, so words are very important to me. I'm a leftist living in a world gone mad, so politics are very important to me. I'm an environmentalist living in a degrading world, so pick up your damn trash, get rid of your gas guzzlers, and don't touch ANWR, you self-absorbed capitalists!

Slow Out of the Gate, Today

I've got one project that I should finish today. It will take me about 1-1.5 hours and then it'll be out the door.

I've got a monster project that I've been delaying starting, and now I've got 3 weeks to do it. (Yeah, 3 weeks sounds great until you actually see the huge pile of material for it!) And this is a new-ish project, so I need to continue impressing them. I've got another project that is due in a month, and I am putting my money on it being placed on the back burner for a while.

So, what have I done? Read some blogs, participated in comments. Had some tea. Put some chocolate chips out of their misery ("eat me, eat me, PLEEEEASE eat me!" they cried in their pitiful little voices). Taken a shower. The rat really looks like she'd like to be taken out, and that makes me feel guilty. But, holy camoly, it is almost 10 a.m.!

OK, I am posting this, then quitting Safari until project 1 is out the door. I will update later to let you all know how it's gone.
