Contra status quo
I do not know the work of Belgian novelist Hugo Claus, who died this week, but I like this quote used to describe his relation to the world: I am a person who is unhappy with things as they stand. We cannot accept the world as it is. Each day we should wake up foaming at the mouth because of the injustice of things.

Saving daylight
Earlier this week I had to get up at 4:15 and be at work at 5:15 for a meeting -- the company is based on the east coast and the project manager there did not deign to take into account the fact that people out here in California are, like, sleeping then.
But not only did I survive this, I have got up at 4:30 twice more this week, including today, because there's no other time to do this contract work I got. And it's actually working for me. I can focus and concentrate. Already I'm done for today.
Now if only I can translate this into a habit and use the early morning time to work on my own writing. I do have a novel to finish.Labels: contract work, technical writing, waking early, working
