As you may have noticed from lack of posts on this blog, I have been busy recently.
Work is demanding and I am not being productive enough. I'm one of very lucky few who have a job which is accumulation of everything learned and is intellectually challenging.
My job is to engineer something that doesn't exist in this world. Though the end users just see the wrapped up product, there is much work and frustration in creating something new -- I am breathing life into devices.
On top of work, add my daily routine of reading Wall Street Journal, running, and watching a movie once every two days. I have about 4 hours of free time each weekday.
Dining takes one, WSJ takes one, running takes one, and movie takes two. Something must give, and it has been WSJ. I only skim nowadays as opposed to reading near everything.
Add Olympics. I watch it about an hour each day, almost religiously. It is inspiring to see someone excel so much (world's best) in some things I cannot do well even if I dedicated my life to.
Now I am about to add another activity to my life -- learning how to play cello. Everything is finally organized and I should be able to start it possibly this weekend (that's two days from now). I am very much excited about it. To have a quality life, some aspect of art must be involved and cello is my choice.
Each day flies by. Although I am stressed about getting things done, the activities are bringing joy into my life. To be occupied is.. a blissful thing. One begins to worry and become depressed as a result when there's too much time at hand.
It's time I need to go run (I multitask as I listen to Pimsleur's Japanese while I run to make my time more worthawhile).
My life has never been more enjoyable.
