Running to stand still
My god, I've been so busy. I have a "to do" list a mile long, much of it with hard deadlines (tax deadlines, convention deadlines, production deadlines). Mail this thing TODAY, respond to this TODAY, fix this TODAY. Of course, as always happens at times like this, there is the inevitable waste of time: 20 minutes on hold here, an hour screwing with the printer that keeps falling off the network there, until 12 hours have slipped by like water and I'm still surrounded by the pile of work that has been slightly reduced or at least reorganized but doesn't look any smaller.
It's times like this I remember James Wallis' old sig file: I have so much to do I'm going to bed.
I wish!

I'd like to make it clear that it wasn't my personal motto (which is either something in Latin or 'Cope', coincidentally the title of my new blog), it was something I once pulled out of a fortune cookie.
Fair enough. Still, since you tagged it to every e-mail I saw from you for years and I can't help but think of it and you together.
Glad to see the new blog!
