0 to 60 in 11 minutes.
...Which was a bumper sticker I saw on a POS-mobile the other day and laughed at, but it applies - with the opposite connotation - to my life, this week.
On Monday I was looking forward to a leisurely week vegging and doing nothing - work on Tuesday night, work on Thursday night, and FFX-2 the rest of the week.
By Tuesday at 6 pm, I was working Wednesday as well, going to lunch on Thursday with a friend, going to the opera Friday night (the problem with season tickets is that you forget when you're committed until someone reminds you!), and gaming Saturday. All good stuff - even work, because more money = paid Christmas bills = happy me - but there goes my week of shameless revelling in unproductivity!
How did it happen??
It's true. If I don't have commitments, I invent them. Surely Freud has a name for this disorder.
