Stage 2 Day 20 (1)
Some good news, some bad news. Mostly bad. Due to corona fiasco my work obligations will start in the middle of October. This is seemingly good. But it means I will have more time when I get paid and results will be expected but nobody will look over my shoulder if I'm working. There is room for procrastination in this equation and this will mean I'll have to either shamefully admit I'm a lazy flak or be diligent.
Also I'll be taking late shifts at Mondays, working till 7 PM. I don't know what it will mean yet, if I'll start working late and allow myself to sleep late or maybe use morning to do a long walk, get back from it and work till evening hours. The fact that it's only this one day of the week means I cannot really make this a habit, but I need some nice solution that will not disrupt my weekly work flow.
Last bad news is that even though I still have 2 weeks of relative freedom, I'll need to do quite a lot of thankless and useless bureaucratic work before that time. For some of it I have more time but I'll be damned if I'll be wasting my time on this stupid crap later. So the next 2 weeks are preparing myself for regular work and Zoom meetings, re-opening new projects and closing my personal ones while dealing with dozen of mail to different departments because they need document scans not worth their weight in paper.
And if I sound jaded then yeah, I am. In a perfect world I could just work, I'd have my desk and do a good job I'm good at. Instead I need to sit in front of the same laptop I play Morrowind on, in the same room I sleep in and need to deal with paperpushers.

For not by numbers of men, nor by measure of body, but by valor of soul is war to be decided.
