This is my first outdoor post. Actually, from a coffee shop. 
.
So what's been happening? Well let's see, the pissing match that is Philadelphia politics continues unabated. Wait, that's inaccurate. The negative effect it has on Philadelphia employees continues unabated. The pissing match participants are actually still on vacation. Hell, I guess I'm on vacation too... if you define layoff as a forced, involuntary vacation.
I'm entering week three of the layoff and strangely enough, I haven't been particularly productive. I don't count Christmas week as that was spent dealing with Christmas and it's aftermath. The following week I was recovering from a rather nasty bronchial cough, which translates into go to bed early, wake up late, sleep a lot in between. So this week things are going to be different. Maybe...
The plan, and maybe if I actually commit it disk it'll make it so, it to move in.
Since moving back in, to take care of my father, I've basically kind of put everything on hold and lived in my old room. The problem is I pretty much live only in my own room. Not the kitchen, nor the living room, nor the dining room, nor the other bedrooms. Just my room. So I'm going to make an effort to change that. That means a rather major effort of cleaning, turning a lot of flotsam that collected over the years into jetsam, unpacking and moving some stuff out of storage. All in all a rather major undertaking. Particularly for a procrastinator such as myself.
btw: I post the picture (where it says "insert picture here" above) but for some strange reason, I can't get any phone reception in the back part of this starbucks, oh well, we'll work on another method.
ahhh.... the joy's of starting a new blog. Well... joy probably isn't quite the right word for it. Frustration? Anxiety? Well at least the time of year is right. I'd hoped to have this up and running by the new year, and it look like I'm just making it under the wire. Let's hope 2007 is a little less tumultuous that 2006.
