I remember now why I never seemed to have any free time when I used to go to work so late in the morning at Stan Lee Media... usually anywhere between 9:00 and 10:00 AM.



Even on days when I was only there for 8 hours, it meant getting leaving work at 5:30-6:30... and despite my short commute my evening was effectively killed. I realize that for many people, working until 5:30 or 6:30 followed by a one or even two hour commute is the norm here in SoCal, and I can't imagine how they do it.



Since starting my current job I'm usually at work by 8:00 or 8:30 at the latest. Getting out at 4:30 is great, and 5:00 isn't too bad; by the time I get home, make and/or eat dinner, and/or walk the dog I usually still feel up to working on the blog or whatever.



This last week I don't think I got to work much before 9:00 at all... and on a couple of mornings it was closer to 10:00! By the time I got home I wasn't good for much of anything... which is why there hasn't been anything new blog-wise since :::gasp::: last Tuesday night. I started a post on Friday, but the browser crashed and I didn't get around to redoing it.



I know lack of inspiration has been a factor, too... fortunately, I've got a couple of books on the way from Amazon that should give me a nice jumpstart. More on those when they arrive. :)
