A month of Tuesdays

Saturday, 04 April, 2009

The strange thing about only working four days a week is that people assume that you must have more time on your hands. But really, it's like married people telling single people they have more free time simply by virtue of being single; it's not that single people have more time, but rather they fill it with other things. Spare time just ends up being filled; that's one of the things about being an adult. (I wish I'd understood this when I was younger.)

Still, I wonder where my day offs (Tuesdays) are going ...

Tuesday 03/03/09

• Doing laundry
• Doing HTML mark-up for one of Ben's projects
• Cooking dinner
• Not sleeping.

Tuesday 10/03/09

• Doing HTML mark-up for one of Ben's projects
• Watching So You Think You Can Dance? Australia (while doing mark-up)
• Swimming in the afternoon
• Having dinner with Elwin, Felicity, Leigh and Zoe at the edge of Sydney.

Tuesday 17/03/09

• Feeling the need to get out
• Going to the city
• Shopping (bought cover for Macbook and some DVDs)
• Eating lunch, and writing and Twittering in The Tea Centre
• Catching the bus to Newtown
• Buying a pair of shorts
• Writing with the Hive Mind in BerkelouW
• Helping Ben with monster website.

Tuesday 24/03/09

• Rebuilding The Faithful Writer website on the new server under the new domain using Expression Engine
• Starting the coding for the front page of The Faithful Writer website
• Trying to record two minutes from a Monteverdi piece for my mother
• Going to bed way too late.

Tuesday 31/03/09

• Sleeping in (appreciate the much-needed sleep)
• Editing The Sola Panel
• Fighting foo (email, trying to get Google Calendar to talk to iCal, looking at stuff)
• Pulling together notes and material for Watchmen review
• Meeting Rosey for coffee in Chippendale, then moving onto Glebe
• Driving home through rush hour traffic (taking mostly the back streets)
• Going to see Counting Crows and The Who at Acer Arena, Sydney Olympic Park (my first arena concert!)
• Staying up to do a few bits and pieces to get the May issue of The Briefing ready for layout the following day (only there was a problem which meant that I couldn't finish, and at 3 am, I decided to call it quits).

Hmm ... only one in five has been a true “day off”. Instead, Tuesdays are often turning into extra non work work work days ...
