My Day Started with a Warm-Light Welcome

I came in a little bit earlier than my colleagues today. It wasn't so early, it was already around 9:10 on my watch. Odd. Only half of the lights in the office were open. I liked it.

It wasn't so bright. The half darkness brought about a certain welcome not a lot of people would appreciate. But I did. The light was warm, it was inviting. I greeted my boss a good morning and plopped down my seat...ran my passwords and waited for the email to replicate from the server. To save time, I heated my sandwich and prepared myself a cup of Swiss Miss.

Aaaah, I think I am going to like this day.

Yet, there's something nagging at the back of my mind. I can't place a finger on it though. Vague little voice.

I look to my left and I see my "Essential Mathematics for Economics and Business" textbook for APMATH class. Ugh, Homework. I haven't started yet. Crammer. Ha! And I wrote in my introduction that I'll do what it takes to do well in the course. Tsk, old habits just die hard. I'll try to study in a little while.

I check my mail. No new mail. Great. Absolutely wonderful. This will leave me a couple of hours to study later. Would it? I have to kick this habit of procrastinating. It's not helpful at all.

Sigh. There are a mixture of thought-lets on my brain right now. "Let's watch a movie." "I want to go back to my reading of Wicked" "Work" "Study" "Pay those expats!" "Say something" "Do something" "Move" "Smile" "Be happy" "Laugh"

My body's unresponsive.

Listening to Regina Spektor's Samson... "You are sweetest downfall..."

Still unresponsive.

Now, it's Gary V. playing on the Windows Media Player...how's that for advertising...

Sigh.

Let's see if I can get something done.

I'm still looking forward to liking this day.
