Another One of Those Days
Posted on January 31st, 2006Last night, I was debating whether or not I should make the trip to campus to work; I knew that I could have been just as, or perhaps more, productive from home than in the lab. Well, it seems like I made the wrong decision. For the umpteenth time in a row (seriously, it has been around 3 weeks), I’ve waited in excess of an hour to get logged into the computer that I use. Chalk up another reason why I don’t like the lab! Oh if only my sweet, sweet laptop will arrive!!
In any case, I’ve had a productive non-work morning. As per usual, I spent a couple of minutes to read the UW bulletin, where I read a tad more about the FEDS elections that are coming up. I also brought along a recent Maclean’s magazine that featured the recent election and some of the blunders and strategies made by the parties. (I had it yesterday, too.) It has been a long (but very good) read.
Speaking of which, I caught a reflection of me with said magazine in hand, dressy coat, non-wild hair, and businessy clothes yesterday. My heart nearly sank; I looked so… old. Is this me now? I suppose that, to a certain extent, this is the result that I have been seeking. After all, I am changing the way I dress, I have made a pretty big change to my hair style (which other people said has really changed the way I look), and I’ve made a commitment to read more. So, perhaps, this is going to be me for the foreseeable future.
Weird.
