Life in Hyperspeed
Posted by: amber
I haven't been home much in a while. I can't really remember what I'm supposed to do here if I'm around for longer than an hour.
Instead, I've been racing at triple speed; taking four-day-weekend trips, squeezing five days of work into the remaining hours, and attempting a mammoth-sized art project complete with grant and exhibition deadlines. Good one, huh?
Living in hyperspeed has its advantages. As long as I never slow down, I can actually get an incredible amount of work done. If I just keep going, and then instantly fall asleep as soon as all my work is done (10:00pm is about right) then I can pull off 9 1/2 hours of job + 3 hours of project every day I am home. The reward is that I get to see my sister's tiny baby swimming around inside her belly, and get long weekends playing with my enchanted pirate nephew and butterfly fairy niece. I live for the kids.
Later, once I slow down just a little, I'll tell you all my collected thoughts about the frightening reality of megachurches, and about my favorite new organization, CUP. But for now, who wants to read more than a paragraph, anyway? We should be outside- it's summertime.
