Day 2. Still doin it.

Well today was a simple day which still managed to hold some interesting components. One interesting bit, which really is only so to me, is that at work... well, okay a bit of back story. At work you are given a case. You review the case and send it out. This results in one "count". Then down the road the attorney on the other end of this proverbial bridge responds to what you just sent them. You then must read their verbal diarrhea, as that is what it is all over the page making outrageous accusations about this and that and basically re-defining physics to define their own little personal world, and then respond to it with all the detail of a mother bird to her babies. Then 6 months down the road when they give up on this case you get.... dun dun dun, a SECOND "count". So in short for each case you get a point now and later, much like that candy. Very much so seeing as that candy is nasty as hell, just like some of what I work on.
But I got off point. This was how we counted productivity at work, but with the new administration that is all changing. So basically I was pulling my hair out to get 98% this bi week in productivity, but under the NEW system, I would have gotten 115%. Quite the tidy little boost! And a pleasant cut to my stress level as well!

Well, that being said and moving on. Today I worked out again. Bit of a small workout again, for which I am reprimanding myself. I need to really make time for the gym, but that need, that drive that STRESS to make it back to the office and get work done is overpowering (I workout at the work gym during lunch). But I did get a reasonable workout done. Little bi-cepts, triceps and shoulders, no cardio though. Cardio always makes me feel better I must admit. Sends me back to the office feeling, well, fresher. And speaking of fresher I showered today. Little accomplishments, little accomplishments.

As far as for me, I got some email responses from my peers whom I contacted about learning how to become a professor yesterday. Unfortunately most of them told me to talk to someone else. Kind of a bummer that, but I emailed the people they told me to contact and we shall see. A couple were useful though. One was from a class I took on how to become a professor, and she asked me if I still had my notes from class. Well, THAT certainly came back to bite me in the ass. But I might still have them but she is forwarding me her syllabus so I can start doing some research. Problem is a lot of people say I need professional experience to be appealing as a Professor. And I feel this is true, so I am thinking about part time work doing film and seeing what doors that can open. Paying that mortgage again keepin me down. If I was a free spirit perhaps I could just drop everything and do what I want but I am chained down. But Ebenezer Scrooge style I will try to make do with my chains an make a difference anyway. So, in summary I went through emails, emailed a couple people back and they sent me more info. Tomorrow I intend to start a notebook. Little three ring binder action to start putting my paperwork in as I learn. As Bill Murray in What About Bob said: Baby Steps.

Aside from that a fairly ordinary day. Another piece of homeowner advice I have is if you have roots in your pipes as per my last blog you can get root killer to keep it down though some people suggest filling your tub with water and rock salt to let drain once every 3 months to keep the roots dead at a better cost. Haven't tried it myself yet though.

Let's see, oh yes! And to elaborate on things that fall into the for me categories. For physical stuff I think I will take measurements and then can watch my progress that way. Never underestimate the value of measurements. Seeing yourself trimmer in the mirror is hard cause it is gradual, but its hard to argue with numbers. Also for my "for me" mental stuff I was thinking each day to work on stuff from the following categories (not all at once mind): Writing my scripts; writing my books; working on my stand up comedy; working on my inventions (even though I'm not allowed to because of my job Shhh!); working towards a job that will make me happy (currently seeing if Being a Professor is ideal); working on art.... and I think that is all on my mind right now, but I can add to it later.
I feel bad that I don't write as much as I used to. I feel pretty pleased with some stuff I've done such as www.jesseboguefilms.com which summarizes some work I've done. Though some of the more amusing stuff is not on there, but I might let some of that leak out in later blogs. Well, tis time for bed and as I sit here lying in bed I feel like I have done okay today. Not click your heels well, but okay, because I have moved forward in my own way today as I did yesterday, as I will tomorrow.

Goodnight.

Man I think parts of this read preachy and not funny. Here's one to tide you over:
