Journal sillypixie's Journal: Can't. Work. Harder. 19

Journal by sillypixie

It's crazy.

I can't work any harder than I'm working right now. Day & night. Weekends. Lunch hours. Every moment. Except tonight, I should be working, but instead I'm drinking Grand Marnier and feeling slightly tipsy and not motivated.

I'm close to a big breakthrough. At least I hope so. The next two weeks will tell - either the world will care or it won't. But it won't be for lack of effort on my part.

I love the weight of it. Hard to say if I'm just full of it and it really means anything or not. But I'm enjoying the idea that maybe it will. It is probably the most intense, exciting campaign of directed effort I've ever undertaken.

It sounds really stupid - but I like the proposition that one day you all might know who I am - but not know that you already know me...

Sigh, those delusions of grandeur are kicking in again... aided by the grand marnier, no doubt about it.

This silly little pixie is ready to roar...

  • I've thought before how cool it would be to drop some bomb like that at a press conference, "Oh, and for those of you at teh d0t, this is Shadow Wrought!"

    Hell, I'm not even sure what you're going to do to change the world and already I want to know who you are! Darn curiosoties;-)

    • You never know, I might do exactly that :)

      The coolest thing would be if even one person was part of this circle and understood.
      • My money's on you. There are some dotters where such an occurance would be quite a shock. I think when you do it we'll think its cool but, in retrospect, not terribly surprising. You have way to much energy, focus and determination for it to be otherwise.

        Indeed. :-)

    • I promise I'll let you know.

      It wouldn't be right, otherwise. You've been my support through thick and thin. Not to mention, I'm pretty damn proud to claim you guys as friends.

      Thank you, it means so much to me to hear you say that :)

  • I've been dealing with fever and lassitude since Monday (thank goodness this held off until after Sunday, or I would have been in deep doo-doo during my drive through mountains in a snowstorm).

    Haven't had a drink in two days. I think I've had two since I got back from the weekend. And I've put in a whole 15 hours at work this week because I've been too sore, headachy and sleepy to stay for long. It seemed to be getting better yesterday but I seem to be on a plateau. At least the fever is back down.

  • ...lots of inspiration comes from Grand Marnier ;-)

    Good luck with whatever it is you're doing!
    • Ditto.

      And also, if you need a little more inspiration, I have some banana cream liqueur that apparently was "best by" about a month before I bought it last year. I just opened it. Very inspiring.
      • Ugh, it was inspiration enough, I forgot what drinking sweet alcohol makes you feel like in the morning. I also sort of forgot to eat dinner last night, and then I forgot that I forgot.

        And as you can tell, I'm ever so coherent this a.m.

        • Heh, this is why I don't do alcohol, much. The day after, ugh.

          But definitely take time for breaks. Burn out will annihilate you and frustrate you if you are close to the breakthrough.

          Good luck!

          You're out of practice. Drink more ;-P
        • Sometimes you need a little vacation... even from your vacation.

          Keep drinking that sweet alcohol, we wouldn't want you to sour on anything.

          And coherence is overrated. A supernova isn't at all coherent, but it's a flash of brilliance which will smoke things a light-year away.

          (I put the previous line down to sweet alcohol - just renewed my stash of Bacardi Select. Oh, and I feel a whole lot better. ;-)
          • Welcome to my world :) It's comfy in here!

            *grin*

            • I've been drinking stuff like this for ages (one of my favorite passing-around drinks used to be pear schnapps and vodka over ice).

              Maybe you thought you were alone here because it's so quiet and cozy and peaceful, but I've been at the other end of that enormous couch since before you got here. I just don't call a lot of attention to myself. ;-)
