My coping mechanisms this week was deciding to fire a bunch of clients (gently) and exit a market that I love serving, but I end up contributing more than I'm getting out of it, which has caused ongoing sustainability issues for me.
And after a morning of literal screaming at my computer for the Swamp of Sorrows that one of those clients sent me through (it's rare that I emote at all, much less release a stream of invectives that would have my neighbors calling the cops if my home office's sound-proofing wasn't as good as it was), I spent that evening playing the ENTIRE single player campaign of "Halo Wars".
The next day (still a 14 hour stint) was much better both mentally and productively.
Proud of you, Katherine. I keep a "teuxdeux' list everyday, but just two items, max. If I get them done, fine. Anything else is easy money. Like 'America' said in "Horse With No Name:" "In the desert you can't remember your name, 'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain." And that's where I live now, in the desert. Shout-out for you on my rock 'n' roll radio show this weekend.
Sooo how was The Dropout?
