Need a Break?

By skitch on Feb 21, 2011 | In Daily Entries

I do. Just finished the first draft of a writing sample for the master's program I'm applying to. It's a bit rough for a number of reasons. First, I haven't had to write an academic paper for 5 years. Second, my A.D.D. has always made writing papers… more »

Today Before Friday

I wanted to make note of something that I spoke of earlier. I was talking about how I'm pretty convinced that Fuel TV stole my pizza analogy for the NFL. The episode aired on 2-12-11 and I posted my commentary where I used the analogy on 2-4-11. I jus… more »

Back to work after a long weekend. Went snowboarding this weekend and kicked my own butt. I was dead by Sunday morning, but had to go workout with my little (giant) brother. So I went home and took a 4 hour nap after that. Had hockey last night. Plu… more »

Grumpy Mood

By skitch on Feb 9, 2011 | In Daily Entries

My boss put me in a hell of a mood yesterday. He's a nice guy, but there's two major problems. He's a know-it-all. And he doesn't know what he's talking about. Know-it-all's that clearly do not know it all can be so frustrating. First of all, I have… more »

I Do What I Want

By skitch on Feb 8, 2011 | In Daily Entries

I didn't get my daily post in yesterday. I was hoping to do so after work, but I just got too busy. I got some nice workouts in over the past week or so which has been good. Had my first hockey game of the new season last week. Play again on Wednesda… more »

Friday

By skitch on Feb 4, 2011 | In Daily Entries

I have meetings all day. I'm not excited about this at all. It also means that I likely won't have any time to do any real work. Before I get to frantically trying to get 5 minutes of productivity preceding 8 hours of wasted time, I want to get some t… more »

By skitch on Feb 1, 2011 | In Daily Entries

Played hockey last night. The game was scheduled for 10 and didn't start until about 10 after. And I didn't eat right during the day, plus stayed up way to late the night before. I was running on about zero energy. But I did manage to get our team's… more »
