  • Attention Span

    Paying More Attention I can’t think of one thing in particular that needs more of my attention. But almost everything I do could use more focus. Am I really here concentrating on writing this blog? Or is my mind wandering? Is my art something that uses my whole attention or am I doing it halfheartedly?…

  • Recovery

    What’s your #1 priority tomorrow? A week and a half ago I tested positive for COVID. I still do not feel my usual self. Today’s priority is recovery and so is tomorrow’s. Wednesday I have pharmacy so hopefully by then I feel less run over by then. I’m not used to being sick and so…

  • Work Hard, Work Smart

    In what ways does hard work make you feel fulfilled? Fulfillment from work is almost never a matter of how hard the work is for me. I crave a sense of accomplishment. I want to feel that the work I have done was productive. Sometimes working harder and accomplishing less has the opposite effect. I…

  • On Being Polite

    What’s the trait you value most about yourself? I find that the trait that helps to keep me out of more trouble than I’m worth is being polite. The ability to look an asshole in his eyes and say “Yes Sir” is a skill with which I excel. Granted it doesn’t get me ahead in…

  • Jobs and Choices

    Three Jobs I Have Done For Free I suspect to best answer that question it’s most appropriate to look at what I do now for free and base my answers on that. First of all I do not ever intend to make money with this blog. Latter Day Sinner is my public witness and it…

  • Electrical Work

    Last night I was anxious and had trouble getting to sleep because we were having a new person in the house in the morning and he was going to be replacing some electrical fixtures. My main concern was over my youngest son’s need to have every light in the house on when he is awake.…

  • Not British

    What aspects of your cultural heritage are you most proud of or interested in? I am an American with a whole lot of English ancestors. I grew up in the Anglican Church. Not surprisingly I was exposed to CS Lewis, JRR Tolkien, Douglas Adams, Monty Python, and Benny Hill among others. I don’t know whether…

  • Association and Identity

    What brands do you associate with? There are brands that I like. My pants are mostly Dickies. I usually have some SPAM in the cupboard. I print my art with CafePress. My Moto G Pure cell phone is decent and I’d consider going with Moto for my next upgrade. But I don’t know that I…

  • Time in the Office

    What could you do more of? There’s a saying that goes around here that no one on their deathbed is going to wish they’d spent more time in the office. The contrarian in me very much wants to get to the end of my life and wish just that. The thing is that office work…

  • Cleaning Dream

    I had a dream that I had to pack up and clean out an apartment that I was leaving. It was strewn with my personal effects. A complete mess. I opened up the bathroom and a bunch of rats scurried out of sight startling me. There was one rat who stayed in the bathtub and…
