Just another quick note to update after yesterday’s note about my schedule. The real problem with trying to update regularly at the moment is that I realized while on vacation that there were an awful lot of things that I was feeling obligated to do every day, blogging included, that were no longer feeling especially fun. They’d taken on the feeling of work, and it just ain’t right when hobbies start feeling like work.
So I expect things around here will be lighter for a while. As you can see by this posting, even when I intend to take some time off, there will be times when I have something to say, and it’ll end up here, but I’m going to do it when I feel the need to post, rather than on some calendar-based schedule.
- It’s like Claire says in her Grasshopper answers Ant (read the earlier post, too) posting. I’ve been doing things that haven’t been as rewarding to me as they should have been, and while I’m not ditching all my responsibilities and playing grasshopper, I’m also taking some time to identify which responsibilities and obligations are important, and which are hobbies I’ve let get out of hand. I think getting my priorities corrected is probably my top priority at the moment. [claire]
- Meanwhile, if you want more news than I’m providing, over the Metroblogging Minneapolis, they’ve been keeping up on local stories like the 35W/Crosstown Construction Delayed Indefinitely and how Hennepin County has been Taking the “Service” out of “County Service Center”. [metro mpls]
