so whenever i try to work at home i find myself spending more time watching television, cleaning my apartment, doing laundry, making snacks, thinking about other side projects i want to work on, listening to podcasts, looking up information on wikipedia, facebooking, chatting, making phonecalls, checking up on my finances, looking at beautiful apartments i can't afford, looking at real estate listings and cursing myself for not becoming a trades person so i can afford a condo, making coffee, drinking coffee, wondering why i have such terrible heartburn after eight cups, switching to herbal tea, drinking herbal tea, looking at electronics i would like to buy, the ikea catelogue, blog posts that take way too long to write... i think you get the idea.
i've been going to Tinto Coffeehouse to get work done, sitting by the window and writing. today the waitress recognized me and just asked "you're a large coffee right?"
it's nice to be recognized. :)
