Yes, Virginia, it is Friday.

I think it's time to let out a nice, big sigh. Like the way it was in those warmup exercises in acting class (now a distant memory).

....Fire up the music (which I did before beginning this rambling)....

...And...

Release!

Today, I actually had the audacity to leave work at 5pm (1700). Not only that, but I have no intention of working Saturday or Sunday -- both "optional" days (leaving aside what might be considered subtle pressure tactics, of course). Ho hum. So much for my impression three months ago that such events were a one-time, never-before-in-company-history emergency.

Aw well. If going into the office spend the weekends turns other people on, more power to them. (Like last night, I actually quite enjoyed stickin around and hangin out with the gang to get more stuff done.) This time around, my spirit is telling me it's time to step back for a bit.

So here I am, thinking, "Do I want do another pre-weekend laying out plans and/or goals here?"

Someone at work was asking what I planned to do this weekend. The only answer I could think of off hand was that I'd work on finishing up the Content Collective satellite stuff. Beyond that... Maybe see a movie? Just hang out, perhaps. Adjust my bearings.

Frankly, the last thing I feel like doing right now is thinking about goals. Nor do I want to attempt to plan any sort of structure in my activities for the next couple of days. Maybe get out. Maybe shop. Maybe just sit at home. And somewhere in there, do that coding. That's about the only one.

I'm gonna soak in the music for a few now.
