12/22/2005 Archived Entry: "Feeling lazy"

Don’t know what it is lately, but I’ve been unable to commit time to writing something that I find interesting. Maybe I’m spending too much time e-shopping, or it’s the lack of sun. Whatever it is, I am definitely running on an empty tank of motivation/inspiration. I found myself having watched 2 movies in 2 nights this week, which is something I usually avoid since it’s just too much consuming and not enough producing.

It’s not just the blogging that’s suffered though, I haven’t done any weights for almost a week now (stressed my elbow a little bit), nor dented the mountain of paperwork that’s about to fall over and crush me, work has slowed to a snail’s pace (likely because Sharon’s gone), and I haven’t even made myself a real meal in many days.

Wherever this lethargy is coming from, it’s gotta stop because this is one of the feelings which I dislike the most in the world. It’s a hard funk to get myself out of since trying to get out of it requires me to motivate myself. You see where this is going.

In other news, I am, today, one step closer to a full blown career change.

Is it the lonliness of the holidays? Time to hook you up with Val :P

Yes, I whole-heartedly concur on the hook-up portion...:P. Yet, I doubt it's the reason for your lack of motivation. Think you're experiencing the side-effects of seeing how low your cousin Dave will sink just to post on your site...enough said...;)!

One step closer to a full-blown career change - isn't it a great feeling? I wouldn't have checked if you hadn't messaged me this morning. Time to start brushing up on my stats and maybe learning how to use Stata 7.0 Is that what the department standard is? You know, most importantly we are one step closer to working together! Good luck.
