Pounding Nails
August 9th, 2004 byI worked an epic day yesterday. Programmed from pretty much the moment I got up until the moment I fell asleep. It sucked. Maybe it’s just cabin fever but I’m getting burnt on programming marathons. I’m getting better at procrastinating, delaying what I need to do until the last possible moment. It’s not a good pattern.
Sometimes I think I’d just be happier doing construction, or going to heavy equipment operators school (damn, who doesn’t want to drive a bulldozer), or doing house painting or something like that. Ug. I hope this is just cabin fever. It would be a shame to just throw away all the skills I’ve developed over the last five years programming. Maybe I just feel the summer starting to slip away and I haven’t really lost any weight, haven’t done any good long hikes, haven’t spent enough time outside.
