I've only been back to work for 2-3 days and already it's like I never took two weeks off. I'm run off of my feet and working 10-11 hour days and am falling asleep at 21:00. I did manage to have a bit of change of pace when I went out for drinks with one of my staff, but unfortunately it was to mark his departure.

I have plans, though. Plans to change the current structure of my job and the nature and quantity of the work I'm doing.

rand()m quote

In the wake of 9/11, we [in America] have made the decision as a society that we can never again create something in which we can take pride, for fear that someone will destroy it. Moreover, we must suppress any trace of individualism, lest someone have the desire to rise above the bland sameness that protects us. I have, alas, no idea how to recapture our courage.
