Much Needed Rest
That's right...after 53 straight days of working, I felt the need to take a couple of days off. In the end, it was a bad idea for work, but a good idea for me, because I was getting so mentally tired that I was losing response from my faculties. I was running into walls, and my body tended to do things without me telling it to (like getting up and walking somewhere only to realize I had no destination).
After the last couple of days of rest, I feel physically tired still, but I feel mentally better! Ready for me to get back to working the LONG hours again to make up for the time off, particularly on this project that I had to put on hold to mentally freshen-up.
During my time off, I took the plunge and got a new (to me) car! I broke down and got a Range Rover. I had wanted to get one of these a couple of years ago, but settled on the Volvo XC90...and recently I've seen more and more of these Volvos everywhere, so I decided I needed a change. Everything in my life is in an upheaval right now, so I guess I might as well make a change in everything. Other than that, I've had no adventures the last couple of days, which also means I haven't really thought about much to post. That's it for now, more tomorrow.
Cheers,
Rocco
P.S. I went to a restaurant the other day and when they asked for my name, I paused...this is always a tricky one for me, because it's not much fun giving my real name. My personal favorite is "Yo" so that when they come to find me they say something like "YO, party of 2...YO, party of 2" and to my amusement everyone who put their name in for 2 people look at each other as if it was a general cattle call for anyone having a reservation for 2. Instead, I stuck with the reliable Rocco, and they even screwed that one up. How many different ways can Rocco be spelt? Well, I've found another, and almost lost my reservation because I didn't realize they were calling me because they were mispronouncing my name.
