Spent the rest of Friday, and a good part of the weekend, putting together a resume for the BCG three-day thing. It wasn’t easy, but I was pretty pleased with the way it turned out in the end, and quite satisfied with Pages as a tool for laying it out (it really has become worlds better than Word). Now it’s a new week, and in spite of a late start (this time thanks to a toe injury I inflicted on myself on Saturday, foolishly, that impairs my ability to walk), it’s finally back to the morphospace. The clock is really ticking, too, because I have a meeting set up with Andy for Wednesday afternoon, so I damn well better have something to show him by then.<\/p>\n
In spite of this, I had an incredibly tough time getting anything done today. My mind just wandered, wanted to be distracted. Did not want to code characters. I’m not sure what it is, but I think at some level I’m simply not enjoying the work, at all. I’m not able to get into a groove for the life of me, I am about as far from immersing myself, achieving that flow state, as I have ever been with a task. Every little distraction, every opportunity for distraction, even every opportunity for an opportunity for distraction, becomes irresistible. I am also very, very tired.<\/p>\n
Ended up getting one, and only one, genus done today. Definitely much, much too slow… but I think I just need to rest and get back on my feet. Tomorrow will be a better day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
