Ahh, Thanksgiving weekend
Four days off. There's something just beautifully, terrible /wrong/ about taking off more days in a week than you spend working. I can't say I'm usually overworking, so it's not like it's a huge break from the norm, but I'm usually a pretty busy guy around the office, fully occupied with the project at hand. But recently I've been almost idle, frequently finishing every last shred of work assigned to me. That's just not supposed to happen; the notion of being "done" never even entered my mind over the last year or so. It's sort of like writing a thesis. But now the project really is genuinely over, there's nothing in the pipeline for the moment, and I'm free as a bird. Now I'm sitting here in Santa Rosa, taking a few minutes on free cafe WiFi to write a post, lapping up the sunshine and clear skies and fall leaves and gentle pace of the wandering crowd here in the city center. I've got tonight, tomorrow and all the next day to kick it in Fort Bragg with my dad. Halle-fuckin'-lujah.
