Quote of the day:
“But what is work and what is not work? Is it work to dig, to carpenter, to plant trees, to fell trees, to ride, to fish, to hunt, to feed chickens, to play the piano, to take photographs, to build a house, to cook, to sew, to trim hats, to mend motor bicycles? All of these things are work to somebody, and all of them are play to somebody. There are in fact very few activities which cannot be classed either as work or play according as you choose to regard them.”
~ George Orwell, The Road to Wigan Pier
Me? Most of my daily activities Monday through Friday are definitely classifed as “work”. I managed to make it through the EOM/EOQ and only have a couple of reports that aren’t as time sensitive to generate. And not only did I get a short work week this week courtesy of my trip to Anime Weekend Atlanta, I also get a short work week next week courtesy of Christopher Columbus!
Know what? I don't even care that it i unseasonably warm and I don't have A/C!
