So, what did I do today?

[xp_cyclops]

I went for a run.
Did some school paperwork.
I programmed one training scenario, went over three tapes of other scenarios.
Marked some late assignments.
Some more paperwork.
Did an hour in the gym.
Watched a training run.
Debriefed after the run.
Wrote up my thoughts.
Read and commented on crossevaluations from the last run.
Did more paperwork.
Spent two hours in the gym.
Did a training run of my own.
Wrote up my own evaluation.
Watched the newsfeeds while I did some more paperwork.
Updated the threat database.
Did some more paperwork.

I just moved from one thing to the other, and... you know, every single one of them felt absolutely pointless. Someone needs to built a Scott-automaton to do all these things, because it would probably be more efficient. Or maybe I'm an automaton already, I don't know. I certainly feel like one.

Here's a thought.

If you're not happy doing all of that crap, then -stop doing it-.

But the crap needs to be done. I'll just hang on and wait for the automaton.

Maybe.

Maybe not.

Real question is - does it need to be done _by you_?

Trust me - don't do shit that makes you crazy.

It -don't- need to be done by him, but the problem is that when people try to do things for him, he gets cranky.

I'm just trying to get ahead, Sam. I'm behind and I'm trying to get ahead so that we've at least got the head start.

Cranky can be dealt with.

Burnout is a lot tougher. So is bleeding out.
