productivity taking a nosedive. (hah, as if that’s possible).
I’m thinking it’s time to hit the eject button.
Intriguingly, I’ve discovered the cube farms cultivate misanthropy in me even better than driving does. Driving may take the lead in extended gridlock. I would prefer not to perform extensive testing.
Fortunately I got in here early this morning (yay swim practice). And I can go to the gym this afternoon. (yay sweatiness).
I’m going to establish a new goal. A minimum of two chapters of the piece on transportation cooridors, and two articles from the BRT edition of public transit I have, each day. I’m not going to tie it to a reward. That never works for me. If the task isn’t it’s own reward, I won’t fucking do it. Nature of the beast. But I am a creature of powerful habits. And I do need something to break me out of the habits. Particularly the habit of Slack.
Few nibbles on the roommate ad. I realize I’m being impatient, but we have only two weeks, and I want a decent field from which to select. I’ll certainly give craigslist a chance to work its magic. Still, I suspect a couple more versions may be forthcoming. Something emphasizing the fun, cool, video games and comic books nature of the people assembled, and another one which mentions our homo-ness and my gym-tastic nature.
craigslist in minneapolis isn’t as cool as it is in other cities, i am not sure why it didn’t take off as much but a few people i know have commented upon this and i have noticed it too.
the livejournal twin_cities thing works pretty well though.
how good is craigslist? I’m only familiar with SF and LA craigslist. LA isn’t very impressive.
Well, it has generated several responses. Only a couple that turned out to be maybe workable so far, though. Interviewing tomorrow.
