That was how the sky looked when I left the house this past Friday morning at my usual 4:30am. I can't recall the last time when there was a full moon outside at that hour of the morning. It's not that I wasn't paying attention. I just genuinely can't recall when a full moon was lighting my path from home to work. This past Friday was a holiday, which means nothing for me, as I still went into the office and did a little work that day. Double time, that day. Why wouldn't I go into work and exert myself, even a little bit? I worked for a few hours on Friday. I worked a few hours yesterday, as well. Work is always going to be work. As long as I remain behind in my work, these overtime weekends are going to continue to be a thing. This coming October, it'll three years of this continuous overtime. The money is good, don't get me wrong, but there are some days when I'm tired and question whether I should give up entirely and just return to my normal 40-hour work week. Under normal circumstances, I ought to be working four days a week, which is never to include working on Saturdays or Sundays. My assigned day off is Friday. But until I, or my body, decide that I can't physically do this anymore, I will continue to work seven days a week. I suppose it also helps that I like my job and I enjoy what I do. I don't know many people who can say that and mean it. I'm willing to bet that I have co-workers who can't say that, but I'm not worried about them. As for me, indeed, I am grateful.
I've been meaning to get back into gaming, in some capacity, whether this is actually playing games or even doing something seemingly menial as doing my console modifications. For months, I've been meaning to modify at least two Sony PSP consoles, one of which is pictured above. I have everything I need to do these modifications. I just need to grab those consoles, fire up the computer, and just do it. Why I can't find this motivation is beyond me. One day, I'll get there. I also have a PlayStation TV I could also modify. See, the thoughts and intentions are there. I just need to stop being lazy and just get that stuff done.
Someone left this on my desk last week. It's not unusual for people to leave me all kinds of stuff at my cubicle, food especially. I don't know why people do this, though truth be told, I don't mind. I'm not a huge fan of Dave's Killer Bread. And yes, if you're observant, you'll notice that there is one muffin already missing. I do not question why this one is missing. My guess is that someone tried the one muffin, didn't like it, and decided to gift me the remaining five muffins. I've had these English muffins before and I've never been a fan of these either, but because I tend not to waste food, free of otherwise, I figured that I'd bring them home and eat them in my own time. Hopefully I don't take too long and they end up going to waste. My appetite is such that I wouldn't consume more than one of these muffins in any 24-hour period. They don't taste that good anyway.
Speaking of being immensely preoccupied, she continues to dominate my every thought. I think about her all the time. Even when I don't mean to, there she is. Her words and image are painted all throughout my mind. She brings so much color to what started off as a bland and unremarkable canvas. I don't need any reminders that she is there, because I can feel her presence all around me. Oh, I know she's there.
The Fourth of July came and went, pretty much without too much incident. As has been the case for the past few years on the Fourth of July, the fireworks probably finally stopped at about 2am. I didn't have any problem sleeping through it thankfully. I remember hearing that final firework bomb go off and I immediately checked the clock next to me. It was two-something. I fell back asleep without difficulty. As it stands, I am not looking forward to the Fourth of July, 2027 edition. I have no reason to. I just don't care.
Well, tomorrow is the start of a new week of fun and festivities. I anticipate that work will be steady all week, which means that I don't believe that I'll be ridiculously busy or overwhelmed in any way. I should be able to handle anything and everything that may come my way. I'll be ready. Being that tomorrow is Monday, there is also a good chance that I look to escape from the office early as well.
I'm looking to continue my productivity into the rest of July, even if it entails leaving work early every Monday.
