absenteeism
With the recent rediscovery of my attention span (I thought for a while that it had left me for good) I find that I am able to sit down and read again, which is good, because lately I seem to be far better at acquiring new things to read than I am at reading them. So I’ve been churning through my backlog of books and magazines and email newsletters and aggregated RSS feeds, and not spending too much time thinking about writing in my blog.
Oh, and I started a new job. Did I mention? Really it’s the same job, only with new employers (the company I was working for liked me so much they hired me away from my old company to work for them directly). That, and I have a real desk now, as opposed to a desk crammed into an equipment closet as an afterthought. I have a pretty sweet view, too:
And just in time for the leaves to change. I don’t sit right by the window, but after a year of being stuck in my ‘enclosure’ this is a vast improvement.
[More later, this is about all the attention I was able to summon tonight. ]
