Today is slow and steady processing and knocking off the action items. So much for immediate gratification.
@AnnikaSkywalkr I do that too. But am also training myself out of immediate gratification.
@kathrynmyr If that's good, they are projects. If that's bad, it's yak shaving time.
@AnnikaSkywalkr ha ha. I am not so sure immediate gratification is beneficial for the long term. :)
finally time to take a breath. I've been on conf calls since 8am!
ugh. jury duty. I could use another hour of sleep today.
Jury duty so far: orientation, coffee break, fire drill.
Awesome surprise hanging with @annatude and @finamofo at downtown farmers market.
@neilredding are you in the west?!
@neilredding well let me know if you will be mojave styling. We could join you for some desert driving/motorcycling/camping/fire etcing.

Day 3 jury duty.
spending all this time in the courthouse, makes me wish I had followed my families footsteps into law. I do miss the suits and brief cases.
Raising a glass to you today @MissXu! (ps. I'm in banking/finance now too!)
Im not so irritated to wait around for jury duty. Someone's life/future is on the line. But its personally bad timing.
I was just a tool. Dismissed. And back to my "normal" life. #juryduty

Wordpress problem. Unable to port over pages from test site to live by copying the directory.

@futurescape ok, will try that.
@acedrew yes, that is what I am concerned about.
@acedrew follow me and I will DM you
Thank you @acedrew @futurescape @geminica @martinboz for wordpress help. Got it figured out thanks to @acedrew!

@MissXu you didn't like it?
@MissXu me too. :) but damn. I've seen James Cameron's inspiration. He did a good job.
@MissXu it was a very hollywood heavy plot.
In case anyone thought I was dissing Avatar: I wasn't. But I have to point out where it's coming from. Its not fully original. Go to Peru.
@rizwank I would change it up as I so desired. Work in home city abroad, travel sporadically, travel longer periods. & have done just that.

@eecue loved Avatar. Totally amazing special effects (the natural neon) but the plot was a bit hwood for my tastes.
@eecue the best part about Avatar, was I felt like I was seeing many Hyperion worlds all crammed into one. Templars World Tree!!!!
@eecue and I forgive it the plot. I understand it needs to be successful to be widespread.
@hymlicky LOL! Love it!
@eecue Oh, I know. I can't wait to see the shrike on the big screen (and in 3D)! And the shrike's tree.
Avatar proves to me, that it's time for Hyperion/Fall of Hyperion to be made into a movie @eecue. Time for the talk to end, and doing begin.
@eecue right. we totally forgot to finish our conversation. And do check out Asimov's Foundation series.
The Foundation series is what Leto II God Emperor of Dune was doing before he existed in Frank Herbert's mind. @eecue
Ohhh. Where how did this Pat Benatar sneak into my manrock playlist?
@rizwank I was totally thinking of you when telling @eecue about Foundation series. I love it too. So influential!
