creed

procrastinator's creed #11: I obey the law of inverse excuses which demands that the greater the task to be done, the more insignificant the work that must be done prior to beginning the greater task.

after some work over the weekend, the 6-page code is now understood. now i can plot whatever the shit i want, and things are looking better. but the reward to accomplishing some amount of work is, unfortunately, MORE work.

as if 300-line code isn't hard enough for a person with no programming background to understand, now there is a 2000-line code, 78 pages printed out, that i have to work on before next week. peter came back from his week-long trip to italy and was in his office today, but will again be gone until next monday to madison. i thought he had some meeting to attend to, but from his conversation with dan today, i think he's gone to play bridge with his colleagues.

great. i could use a week-long vacation too. cruising down the 52 on my corolla. ah, how i missed that sensation. the cove, the seals, the overcast weather, the thick fog creeping in at night, the cup of hot coffee on my desk, the music coming out from the speakers, the solitude, the breeze, the love.

eight more weeks. just eight.
