Monday, December 01, 2003

One thing I've noticed about Mondays - something which perplexes me - is the lack of free time during the day. Aside from observing this in my own schedule, and those around me, I can see the quantifiable sluggishness of bloggers in my RSS aggregator, notice fewer hits to this site, and encounter a comparative wasteland of personal email.

Now I could understand this if work was piling up over the weekend, say from some mechanical work generator, a big, steely automaton with dollar-signs for eyes and capital in its belly, vomiting man-hours onto a Twister board of resource allocation (Left foot, Omega project! Legal division, defamation of character counter-suit!). But that's not the case. Wherefore then the constant toil? Are people compensating for the relaxation inertia they've built up over the weekend?

The robot also has pink slips for claws.

I've been thinking about posting since monday. you can see that my laziness has taken me until wednesday to actually write here. I think that, on Monday, I don't totally hate my job. The weekend had made my anger towards production design subside, and therefore I can work (mostly uninterrupted). But by Wednesday, I remember that anger. And then I turn to blogging and replying to other blogs, because I realize that I have been too productive for the previous two days. And i have to make up for it. Like this: I've been at work for 13 minutes and have already replied to this, and written half a blog entry of my own. See you later, productivity.
