Work today threw just about every instance of Murphy's Law at me that it could. I had to computers cease working almost simultaneously, there were several troublesome clients that I had to do some hand-holding for, and my boss? Well, actually I really did not get a chance to talk to him much during the day. Hopefully he did not need anything important, because I was running around the office so much the odds are good he missed me completely.
Regardless, between handling everything else I did not leave the office for the final time until 6:30 this evening, which gave me just enough time to come home, eat dinner, shower, write this entry, and go to bed. Fortunately I started a Tortilla Soup in our crock pot this morning, so there wasn't much to do in the way of prep for dinner (my wife actually prepared more of it than I did, really).
Other than tonight, my week actually has not been that busy, and I am doubtful that the next two days will be that bad either, although I do need to go into the office this weekend to format one of the computers. Next week however I already have 55 hours scheduled, and some sixty mapped out for the week after that, which will be increased by any assignments I do not yet know about, or any more computer problems that develop, and I have no doubt that there will be plenty of the latter. It is not that I do not enjoy doing computer work for the office, it is just that I would like one week, one single week where I do not have to fix anybody's computer. Maybe next year, as more of the older computers are phased out and our software is better tuned for running windows 7, that will become a reality. I will not hold my breath on it though.
I am hoping when I tech this computer over the weekend it will give me a chance to finally finish reading the commentaries on the diamond sutra. I simply cannot seem to get around to finishing the last few chapters. After that I need to get back to reading the Discourses, which I have put aside for far too long. Perhaps having taken this amount of time to dwell on it will bring new meaning.
This weekend I think I will try to go out for a short run. It has been far too long since I last went outside for any other purpose than simply trying to get somewhere. It is time that I made the journey itself the purpose again. I have heard myself say these words before though, and it is always so hard to put heart into them.
Regardless, sleep now.
