For the past month I’ve been stuck in this weird, transitional rut. My workload has been drastically reduced as I transition out of my job with the AFL-CIO, but I feel like I’ve been squandering the extra free time.
I should be reading, I should be writing, I should be doing arithmetic. Instead, I’ve read books about zombies and ‘Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter’. I’ve watched ‘Due Date’ and played ‘Grand Theft Auto IV’. I’m falling into a summer lull, and I feel like it’ll be a harsh adjustment when I return to the working world (whenever that may be, but that’s a different story).
So let this serve as something of a mid-year resolution. I have to be better than I’ve allowed myself to be. My actions in my free time need to match my ambitions in my professional life. I need to be working to better myself, instead of settling for the easiest choice.
