Size Matters

No sillies, I'm not talking about anatomy. I went out yesterday and bought a new laptop! It's beautiful, and the screen is huge. It says the screen is 15.6", but I swear it looks bigger. After working on a 10" netbook for four months this is sheer heaven. It's like going from drinking water to Kool-aide. Or Johnny Depp as Edward Scissorhands to Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow. It's like...well, you get the point, which is, "Size does matter."

Last night I was able to work on an article for my current client while also playing a video game and listening to Pandora without glitches, bumps, or long pauses to think about whether or not it really wanted to complete the task I requested. Of course, an hour's worth of work took more like four hours due to all the distractions, but lucky for my client I only charge by the project, and never by the hour. Even luckier that he'll never read this because while I'm sure the article I sent him at 1am was fairly error-free, I'm not sure he'd appreciate my not giving this project my full and undivided attention as it so deserves. But I was born to multitask and can hardly focus if there's not at least a little distraction.

Speaking of, time to get back to the current project. It's 8am on a Sunday morning. I feel like total crap, like I'm in the beginning stages of a really bad sinus infection or strep throat, and I'm still super excited about my job. That's because writing is the best job ever. Le sigh. I love grammar so much. Hope the rest of you are having an awesome weekend!
