For the first time in many, many months, I just ate a meal in front of the computer.  Why did I do that?  So silly!  I am trying to kid myself that simply having the computer on all the time will be an incentive to get me to do the mountain of work ahead of me. 

It is remarkable the extent to which we define ourselves by our work.  If I accomplish something, I start to feel happier.  Like at the end of a major project, or after a productive day in the office.  One of my roommates, the one who was beat up the other day by Francophones, recently found a job in Montreal.  His vibe has changed noticeably.  He is happier!  He is now actually working with Francophones, so maybe this will help undo his previously horribly negative encounter.  I hope so.

I’ve got a lot to do before my girlfriend arrives.  There is no excuse for me goofing off.  I must get back to work!
