Sleep habits of the disenchanted
So when I first got home from Turkey, I was widly jet-lagged and fighting to stay awake at 2pm.
Now the pendulum has swung dramatically the other way. I’m going to bed at 2am and rising at the equivalent of 7pm Istanbul time. What a difference three weeks makes.
Stepping back and looking at the situation objectively, I think I’m suffering the effects of no job, no schedule, and no real responsibilities. It’s fun for a few weeks, but there’s a nagging voice in the back of my head that would like to see me get my @ss in gear and develop a plan for managing my time.
Part of the problem is that I can dick around like nobody’s business. If there were a “who can waste the most time surfing the internet” competition, I could very possibly take home of the gold. Ditto for channel surfing, magazine flipping through, phone chatting, book skimming, and dog tug of warring. Alas, this is not how best selling novels are created (at least I doubt it), so starting next week I am developing a time management schedule and sticking to it! And calling all the people I need to call! And writing back to all the people I need to write! And commencing my plan for world domination!
To quote the famous time management expert Alan Lakein, “Time = life; therefore, waste your time and waste of your life, or master your time and master your life.” Amen to that.

So nominated. If you end up with the silver, don’t stomp off in a combo crying/huff. You’re still a winner.
You DON’T want to know what happens when you reach the end of the internet, a series of tubes. You fall off into an abyss. In such case, do NOT look towards the light, or white. Think only of Google, Microsoft, the original SIMS, and TMZ.COM.
