And Suddenly I Showed Up

I haven't given much though to blogging lately. It's low on my list of things to do. In fact, it's not on ANY list that I keep. It's like blogging was part of a whole different life, the one I had before I moved up the corporate staircase.
There was a whole lot of breezing, relaxation, and fun in that past life. In this one? Well, let me put it this way. I'm at the point of tearing out those portions from the dictionary I keep in my desk drawer. No wait, I don't have a dictionary in my desk drawer -- I use spellcheck and all those nifty word processor tools. Snap. There's no way out of this corporate hell, is there?
Forgive me for whining. I'm just thinking up creative ways to let you know that I've been busy with my real job. The one that pays me the bucks. The one that pays for my cellphone bill and my Internet connection. My cow. I'm milking the heck out of it, I just never fully realized that I'd be milked back in return.
So it's been 3 weeks since I last wrote something here. Not really a record, though something I'm not really happy about. I started this thing so that I could talk to myself without having other people give me weird looks or start giving me a hard time. Talking out loud has gotten me in trouble before, and talking inside your head pumps too much blood into my brain. So writing it down seemed the next best logical thing.
I need to make a little segue here, just to mention that this seems to be my most common topic - why the bloody hell I blog. Well, it's the title of my blog, so it only makes sense. Except that I never planned it to be this way. Who bloody cares? Back to regular progamming.
Now I need to incorporate a little more work-life balance, though I hardly classify blogging as an integral part of my life. So far, I've only seen the downside of having more responsibilities -- more time eaten out of my private life. Here it is, finally, my dream, the promotion I've been working so hard for, chewing at the sides of my free time.
Now is that part of the deal? I realized, yes, it is. And it has only been recently that I have been coming to terms with that idea. Slowly the new chapter is unraveling, and I'm finally getting the hang of things. It took me long enough to get here, and now it's time to start walking again.
