the occasional personal project, such as writing that chapter that was due
two days ago for the book you're working on, review your presentation for
that important risk-related project at work, the yearly report on the
computing services, collect, review, and prepare the information needed
for that meeting to present your video-conferencing project, prepare your
operating systems slides for the three one-hour classes, conduct those
never ending group-meetings (BTW, you know you're part of one too many
groups, when you can't have all those meetings on weekly basis), keeping
your policy of no more than two hours in average to respond to any written
or electronic communication your receive, etc., a really, really big et
cetera.
Chances are that you will forget about what really matters, the highlight
of your week, that special, never-ending moment, where space and time
become one, no pain, no worries, no more work for a couple of hours...
when you hold your beer with your raised hand, see your girlfriend, and
friends in the eye, and say: "Salud!". Well, that will happen no more, for
I now have this pretty, non-intrusive, beer-like counter that works itself
up to remind me of that special moment.
Welcome home friday night!
