I'm still getting used to this camera - it's the one in my EVO and it's good but this is darker than I would like and that bear is violet with a purple sweater in real life. Looks nearly blue to me here. Hmmm.

This current project I'm working on is about to nail me. We marching to an end of September date and I can't keep up the pace. It'a pace I chose and I can pull back on the throttle and I need to. I slept like a log last night and feel like I could do it again right now.

Part of the problem is me - well, actually, all of the problem is me... but part of it is that I suck at taking breaks. I can get distracted by emails and Twitter and Buzz and I do. But, what I don't do is actually get up and move and do something else entirely for 10 or 15 minutes. I usually realize that I should and then go into 'one more minute, one more time, just let me do this one more thing...' mode and I end up never getting up. If I didn't have to pee now and again, my ass would never leave the chair.

I think I need to take 15 minute breaks where my ass literally leaves the chair and I think I need to quit earlier in the day. I can quit without really quitting and I should. I can stop coding (the stuff that really works my brain) earlier and leave the last couple of hours for answering questions and organizing and cleanup. Also, I do not need to work the 10 or 11 hours a day I've been working.

I think I'm going to start this today.

At least I do break for lunch most days and today was one. It was a goood lunch, thank you.
