07/17/2001 Entry: "Train of thought?"

It's sad how easily I can get derailed lately. Today I was working so well from 10 until our 1 o'clock meeting, and then I just ran out of steam. It didn't help to hear that a co-worker I like is leaving to become a teacher. That just makes me fantasize about a new career, a new life. Or a career that seems really interesting (but a lot of work), or about careers that I would have been once upon a time. Even about careers for imaginary people. Basically, any career except the one I have now.

Maybe it's just time to catch the train home.
