summer blues

It's good to be busy. It is much better to be busy than to be sitting around for two months in the early spring, scratching for something (anything!) that is somewhat productive while the specter of layoffs is hanging over your head.

At this point, however, I'm utterly swamped. I've been trying to do all my usual technical/managementy stuff while spending long hours in the field, and it's just not working. Maybe I'm getting too old for this, but I find myself ever more tired and less willing to work extra hours when I've already had a full day.

When I logged in today, I noticed that my number of posts for July was pathetically small again. There is a good chance things will ease up in the next week or so, but after that, who knows...
