I'm overwelmed.
By things I want to do right now. Books I want to read at this instant. The things I've been meaning to do, but haven't.
By things I want to experience right now. To be in the bed of my one. To be in a quiet room with an open window overlooing a wooded area with rain falling softly. To drive another shift...

I need to read more literature.
Sure, the technical books I read are full of fancy terms like direct inward dialing and primary rate interface, but they don't inspire much creativity.
My writing is limited to the terse three-sentence emails that I volley back over the cubicle wall on a daily basis. I try to get out of the chair and talk to people....

In this day and age, finding/making time for high-quality recreational reading and writing isn't always easy. You might find your journal here will be a good showcase for your writings. I've found that knowing there are eyes on it makes me push a little harder and I've been rewarded with great feedback over the past year. There are also many writing and literature related groups on here.
I haven't written much lately, but there are some larger pieces in my journal, some poetry, essays, and short stories that I'm pretty proud of.
The thing about reading is that I have to do it. Reality tends to suffocate me, fiction lets me breathe. I'm the sort that cannot live without legends.
The thing about writing is that I can't not write. There is something that compels me to, and increasingly so.

Intellectual stimulation? What's that?
I'm filling in for a vacationing coworker at work. He's in charge of all the human resources for my group at work, about 300 people.
What a mind-numbing job! It requires no intelligence at all. The challenge of this job is wading through the bureacratic BS of personnel. Between re-inventing the wheel trying to figure out how to get...

Ever wake up at 4:30 AM on a Sunday morning and because you had nothing else to do, started learning how to use VIM?
For you Mac users out there:
-Open a Terminal window (/Applications/Ultilities/Terminal)
-Type "vimtutor"
-Enjoy!

Riiiight.
pb:
he's not lying about never seeing any other movies except for the pair listed. you should try having meaningful pop-culture rich conversations with this guy.
I had a dream last night where I was riding the Metro (the subway here in DC) and it stopped because a tree was across the tracks (It was an above ground section of track.)
So a supervisor was out there and instructed all the passengers to construct a temporary train kit. The kit consisted of pieces of plastic picket fence sections and large wads...

Yay!! Im glad they came through for ya!! 
Well, the package wasn't there.
I neglected to ask for a "same-day will-call." Although the nice ladies working the pickup counter looked for my package for 20 minutes before they turned me away. The manager even helped out. All the staff was really pleasant.
Better luck today, I guess.

Don't you just love the Brown?
ewwww.
Thanks for the luck!

ten bucks says you don't get zephyra's reference to brown.
The wait after your UPS delivery failed is the worst part of "e-commerce." The UPS man came at 3:13 PM, while I was at work, earning money to pay for this new radio and satellite receiver. I've requested that the package be held for me at the distribution center, which closes at 8:30. My package should be ready at 8:00.
So if you try to...

well, UPS hasn't come for me at all this week, and I ordered a new cell phone. 
Everyone that is thinking about any type of car audio should check out Crutchfield before they order anywhere else. I bought a radio, installed it and hated it. They take returns and pay for shipping. I exchanged the radio with them over the phone in about two minutes. I should have Sirius up and running tomorrow after the UPS guy comes.
Awesome.
Awesome.

Couldn't live without my SIRIUS. 
pb:
is that a duck in a bunny suit sticking out of your pocket or are you just happy to see me?
Spring gave us a wonderful preview today. It was 65 and sunny.
What a difference to drive home with the sun higher than my windshield and it warm enough to have the windows open.
Our taste will be short, however. A cold front will move into the area tomorrow, bringing with it rain and then snow. NWS forecast discussion
I love being me... two of...
