Spring is coming in, but keep the scarf wrapped round your throat...
Some days, the Internet allows me to connect with people, to see another side, to experience outside my own comfort zone. And some days, it makes me think a good hard Flood is overdue.
(seriously: a little compassion, a little perspective, and a little less ego should not be so difficult, humanity...)
In other, I guess happier news, it is officially into March, which means my work schedule has kind of exploded. Some of that (writing the new G&T novel, working on the new proposal) I CAN talk about, some I CAN'T talk about, and some I can't talk about YET. (yes, I know, I'm a tease).
So far, the once-a-week-on-the-coworking-space office seems to be doing what it needed to do: shaking up my habits and giving me a different perspective on what I'm doing. I may up the time-split eventually...we'll see. I've never been a "working in my PJs type" anyway. I am going to try to keep the "less work on weekends" trend, but also reserve the right to go into full-on manic meerkat mode, as needed. You'll know when. :-)
So, relevant to the first bit of work, a question for those of you with household animals and technology:
do your animals ever pay the slightest bit of attention to the screen when you're skyping/otherwise involved in digital conversations? And if so, what form does that attention take?
