Had a great lunch at The Cheshire Cat, a painfully British
pub in Ottawa that manages to not be cheesy. Also, it has
excellent food and drink, which would help forgive the theme
pub sins, if it were.
I start work on Monday! It's approximately 9 months since I
did full time work and I've only started doing bits and
pieces of work since March. I'm excited though; I learned a
lot in my voluntary time off about priorities and structure.
I found that a lot of things that I told myself I wanted to
do aren't all that exciting once you _actually_ have the
time to do them. Or, alternatively, there's some things that
I wanted to dabble in and once I was passed the dabbling
phase I'm not interested any longer. And I'm not that
interested in making things unless I have a reason to -- and
there's only a limited number of things that I need to build
for myself.
So; in a way, apart from money to live off / social
interactions etc. one of the main things I get from work is
(hopefully) a stream of things that people need to exist,
and then I can turn my efforts towards making them exist.
