Have I used a similar title before?
Can't remember.
My elbows are resting on the table,
and I can barely keep myself upright on this wooden chair.
And yes, I'm still sleepy as hell,
but I'm at that weird point where I've woken up for the day.
Might be able to take a nap later in a few hours.
Right now, I'm just hoping a bit of caffeine is going to be enough
for me to start doing my daily push-ups.
So why the hell am I back?
I need to post something, that's why.
A lot of shit has gone down,
and I probably only have a few months left on the job.
The director and his boss have made their move.
And his boss sounds so very reasonable too,
that sly, cheeky bastard.
But that's not the main reason I'm here.
I posted a comment on Facebook recently,
and... I chose the wrong word.
I meant 'persecuted', and instead went with 'prosecuted'.
That kind of thing bothers the hell out of me.
Sure, I was exhausted when I wrote it, but it still bugs me.
It's a reminder that I hadn't written in a very long time.
To put together words that form a compelling story is not going to be as easy as it used to be,
back when I was posting regularly (how long ago was that??).
But I'm a sales guy, and this sort of thing is fucking important.
I guess that little mistake kicked off a chain reaction of thoughts.
My English is going down the crapper again,
and I can't create engaging stories around not just my products,
but my experiences. Not the way I used to do.
There's just so much to do.
Also, it'll probably help if,
after reading the headlines,
I start going through The Oatmeal, Cracked, Penny Arcade, sites like that.
Big fan of The Oatmeal, especially the way he writes articles.
Dude's got a unique style.
Anyway, I better down the rest of my coffee and hope I can get something useful done
in the next few hours.
Well enough of that.
