------------------------------------------------- Title: Feeling like shit today Date: 2022-02-07 Device: Laptop Mood: Like Shit ------------------------------------------------- Yeah, so I'm feeling like shit today. I thought I'd begin to write some of this down even though I don't have my Gopher space properly setup. After a reasonably 'ordinary' weekend (i.e. one where we neither did too much, or too little), I woke up this morning feeling completely drained. My eyes were sore, I felt like I needed a nap by 7am (I only work up at about 6am). I've spent the day either lounging in bed, with one exception where I dragged myself up to my desk for an hour to do a couple of work calls and knock out a quick document to help a colleague. I drove to the shop to buy some lunch, but then my lizard-brain took over proceedings and I bought a load of sugary/salty crap rather than real food. This didn't help matters. Now I'm lying here in bed, ready to just give up on the day (it's about 3pm). I realise that I have the luxury of doing this, where most do not -- but I still feel bad. I've just queued up The Big Short on Netflix. It's the third in the triumvirate of 'smart white dude' movies, after I watched Moneyball and War Dogs over the last week. I'm actively trying to stop watching television *shows*, and spend more time on movies; I've told myself this is because there is more artistry in movies than television (and maybe there is a grain of truth in this), but also because I'm finding television just so hard to keep up with at the moment. At least after a couple of hours a movie is done with; it's not a 12-hour committment to a series. I hate leaving things unfinished. Anyway, my eyes are hurting more now after typing this. Signing off. --C
