work

My job in principle: travel to exciting places, teach exciting stuff to starry-eyed, admiring masses who can’t thank me enough for my brilliance and wisdom, and leave them begging for more.

My job these days: there aren’t too many courses to give in the summertime, so do other people’s work. Travel to Baltimore, spend a sunny day inside a boardroom (starting at 6 AM) doing a sales demo to recalcitrant clients who think I care if we sell this thing or not, then return home at midnight on a Friday, just late enough to have missed swing dancing. Write tech specs, desperately trying to extract information from cryptic, elusive developers.

Now you know why I’ve blogged three times already today. Okay, I’m in a pissy mood, but that’s because it’ll probably be a week before I set foot on a dance floor again. I need a fix!
