			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When did my workload triple? Not sure, but it&#8217;s been slowly ramping up in the past two weeks.</p>

<p>I enjoy work when it does what it&#8217;s supposed to. When Active Directory for the university goes down&#8230; when Google Mail even goes down&#8230; when pretty much NOTHING works as it should and you realize it many hours later&#8230; that makes you feel like garbage.</p>

<p>But alas, when it works, it works.</p>

<p>I haven&#8217;t had an hour to sit down and even start the long awaited Month in Review. Heck, I still haven&#8217;t sent off my 95% finished taxes. Such a perfectionist&#8230; I&#8217;m probably going to start again just to see how fast I can complete it&#8230; not sure what that would prove, but alas, this post is indeed a brain dump.</p>

<p>I need to get out. I actually need some office space. I&#8217;m realizing too quickly that the bedroom isn&#8217;t the best place to set up shop for freelancing. While for some, it&#8217;s doable, but man&#8230; I think college banged it into me: Need to go to a Library or elsewhere to get things done.</p>

<p>Not sure why that is: I probably have less tools available to me when I&#8217;m not at home, but it almost forces me to take only what is necessary when I do work elsewhere. Oh, it must be the planning factor I enjoy so much when I have to pack my stuff to go somewhere else to work.</p>

<hr />

<p>I&#8217;m realizing there&#8217;s a benefit to figuring out and knowing what you&#8217;re weaknesses are.</p>

<p>You know what to target. You know what to do. I&#8217;m blessed with a keen sense of knowing where I suck.</p>

<p>See that&#8217;s the funny thing, though: One of my many weaknesses is the failure to act.</p>

<p>But if I failed to act in finding out failures, that wouldn&#8217;t be me.</p>

<p>Someone just delete&#8217;d something that they weren&#8217;t supposed to and left something dangling. Oy.</p>

<hr />

<p>Are you serious? Tomorrow&#8217;s Friday?</p>

<p>Who am I kidding. I have no weekends.</p>
