The Complacency of 8-to-5
12:35 AM - October 17th, 2005
I’ve noticed something about working full-time. The more I get used to it, the more my brain shuts off after I get off work. When Cal’s semester started, I made a point to at least think through each problem set from EE 140 and EE 142. It kept my analytical skills sharp and kept me ahead of the homework questions my friends still at Cal threw at me. Now I don’t look at the problems until they ask me and when they do ask me. And when they do ask me, I let out a few brain farts before any helpful tidbits come out.
It’s just so easy to be content with doing nothing after work. I’m tired. It’s late. Why exert myself at all?
Well, because I like progress. I’m going to try to turn things around this week starting with the still-upcoming redesign. I’m going to push for a 2005—yes, this year!—release.

hey, what was that google section you sent me last time that uses AJAX, lets you drag and drop stuff, and everything?

Setting goals is great. If I don’t do that, I never get around to doing the things I want/should be doing. There are so many things outside of school/my major that I want to pursue. Hobbies need planning too, I found out.
Did you ever listen to the song I sent you? You got me addicted to Leon’s Theme. It’s so pretty!

Yeah! It has that happy-go-lucky feel like Katamari Fortissimo Damacy and Guilty Gear Isuka’s ending theme. =)
I’ve been downloading YMCK’s album at home. I know, I should just buy it… $10 + $2 shipping + signing up for PayPal + having to remember yet another password + figuring out how to use PayPal + answering all of my mom’s questions about who I’m ordering from, how I’m paying, and if it’s safe or not… bleh =(.

The Katamari soundtrack is AWAZING. So much variety and all of them so addicting!
