work
God, I offer myself to Thee to build with me and to do with me as Thou wilt. Relieve me of the bondage of self that I may better do Thy Will. Take away my difficulties that victory over them may bear witness to those I would help of Thy Power, Thy Love, and Thy Way of Life. May I do Thy Will always.
Oh, that You would bless me indeed and enlarge my territory, that Your hand would always be with me, and that You would keep me from evil.
Thank You for keeping me sober today. Amen.
We work to eat to get the strength to work to eat to get the strength to work to eat to get the strength to work to eat to get the strength to work. -- John Dos Passos, Strikers in Airways, Inc.
Hard work. Well, that’s all right for people who don’t know how to do anything else. It’s all right for people who aren’t lucky. But once you’re lucky, you don’t have to work for other people. You make them work for you. -- Dan Totheroh, The Devil and Daniel Webster
Work is an essential part of being alive. Your work is your identity. It tells you who you are. It’s gotten so abstract. People don’t work for the sake of working. They’re working for a car, a new house, or a vacation. It’s not the work itself that’s important to them. There’s such a joy in doing work well. -- Kay Stepkin, U.S. baker, as quoted in Working, by Studs Terkel
Yesterday was a very weird day. On Monday, I had felt like I was buzzing. My skin felt all tingly, and I had plenty of energy. I thought I might be manic, and perhaps I was because of the final exam coming that night. By yesterday, I felt like I was crashing -- a reminder from my twenties of all those mornings after staying up all night on cocaine. I didn't feel tired yet, but my eyes looked it. I came straight home from work and went to bed early. I'm feeling better this morning but a little spent.
Our semester grades were already posted online yesterday, and I made an A in Advanced Regression Analysis! Whoohoo! Now, my next big projects are getting Lambda's money deposited and beginning research to protest the 23% increase in the appraised value of my new condo. It never ends.
Right now, I need to get to work to finish the re-accruals.
