Monday is when my real job begins. Though I've geared up with a judicious amount of shopping, a healthy head of steam, and a motivation I've rarely felt so honed, I can't help but allow my mind to wrestle with a selection of outcomes. What-ifs. A "football field" of results.
I really believe that it's times like this when it's so important to find methods of relaxation and reflection. I've come a long way in a few short months. I am more familiar with the bank, the working routine--hell, I even wake up* at 7:30am regardless of what transpired the night before. [*which is not to say "stay up"] Focusing on that allows my mind to quiet, regain its tenacity, and set upon its next opponent: whatever.
Whatever flotsam and jetsam happens to floatsam and jetsam through my brainsam occupies the rest of my time. There's only so many waking moments I can spend thinking about Excel (wish though I might that that is not the case). So instead I find myself perusing Epicurious, NotCot, and other design and food blogs. The images roll and tumble in my mind until out pops a little gem of creativity (example). I need to feed the beast! It needs more wrestling partners (opponents?)!
All of the meddling and creativity takes some sting out of what I do for a living.
As such, here are some meals as of late:
Bleu cheese mega-burger
I always want my job title to come with an asterix and accompanying footnote.
