Hello all,
It's been a fairly good week--a few days off, a fantastic Postal Service concert at Red Rocks, macaroni and cheese--, and I thought I would share some things.
Most specifically, I've had an idea over the past few days that I can't seem to shake. The idea is this:
When any individual has three continuous vacation days in a row--and it must be three (no more, no less)--it is inevitable that said individual will reevaluate his or her course in life. Specifically, they will find that, when they return to work, the priorities they had valued before their leave now seem not-so-worthwhile.For example, I had a three day hiatus from work this week. During this time, I came up with some great ideas for my future (inspired largely by this, this, and maybe a little bit of this). I felt inspired and invigorated--ready to try new things and take risks! It seems that three days is just long enough to get delusions like that. It's just long enough for the mind to start adventuring but just short enough to keep it from getting lost.
With this in mind, I think I am going to try and structure my time in three day increments from now on.
Upon reading this, some of you may remember that in high school I wanted to start measuring time in "snoozes"--that is, the length of time allowed by the average alarm clock snooze button (i.e. 9 minutes)--and I still stand by that idea!
But this one should work as well: Day 1 for rest and errands, Day 2 for plotting grand schemes, Day 3 for coffee drinking and walking around in fields of moderately well-manicured grass.
So, that's the plan. I will post my findings on this blog in the most scientific fashion I can muster.
