Resistance is Futile

Starting next week, my team will have to do 5 hours of mandatory over time due to Q4.

I average about 43 hours a week, so an extra 2 hours is not too bad. Honestly, I could use the money. What this means is that I will be getting up at 6 am to catch the 6:37 train to be in at work by 7:30. 7:30 am to 5 pm with 1/2 hour lunch = 9 hour day x5 = Victory.

And so begins another Q4 of work, have dinner, sleep, work. Good times. Good times.

Go Away, Busy Writing

November 1st . Today marks the beginning of a new month, NBA season, and National Novel Writing Month. I am going to curtail my online activity to write this month.

The basic gist is that you write 50,000 words in 1 month. Don't edit. Don't correct. Write. You don't have time to make a profile. Shoot him in the head. Go. It's up to us ... (Inside Joke).

So, 50,000 words = app 1,700 words a day for 30 days = 175 pages = a novella length work. We will call it a novel, because novel sounds sexier. Novel sounds official.

The site is being redesigned and will be slow, so don't be surprised if it times out.
