So on Monday I went into the studio to record some vocals. Instead of going home to rest, I went to storage after and moved stuff around to make it easier to get rid of some of the stuff I no longer want or need.

What did all of this lead to? A lack of vocal power and spore ribs all throughout Tuesday. Oh well.

There are worse things to experience, but it did get in the way of getting much done.

Instead of being productive, I sat down and sunk my teeth into games, letting them wash over me and carry me on a course throughout a plot that reveals itself over time, rather than in the first instant  that it can.

I make what I was playing sound more mysterious than it was, but that is what you’re getting this morning. I’m not operating on full as my body thinks I’m sick even though I’m not (which, considering how it’s reacting I guess means that I am sick, or something).

Either way, I sit here at work, preparing for the worst whilst hoping for the best. It will be a deluge and I have no umbrella, but this will not be cathartic. People are vicious and so am I. I’m just a bit more professional about it, but that is to to say that I am professional about it at all. I’m only a little bit more professional. No swearing. Well, not on the phones anyway.

Of course, it could be quiet. There may be no rain at all and I’ll be walking with a gentle breeze and a sun that shines down, but I’d still need a hat as I’d need to shade my face so I don’t burn it to a crisp. Would rather avoid doing that. There are other things I’d need my face for, such as the things that a face is required for, this increasing my need to keep my face a face and not am overcooked food item of your choice to describe an overly-burnt face.

Maybe the headset is my hat that protects me as it keeps me at a distance whilst also allowing me to engage with the customers of which I need to engage with. Either that or an umbrella. The headset is my umbrella. That’s a good way of looking at it, I think.

The headset is my umbrella and I am using it to protect me from the customers and their queries. How metaphorical for the umbrella and the rain, or something to similar effect.

Wait a minute. That’s not what I’m looking for. I’m looking for two words that work together when placed in a certain consecutive order that will more accurately describe how I feel about what I’ve just said about working in customer service. However, the words seem to elude me.

I think that if I think hard enough, I can work out what they are.

Wait; I’ve now worked them out:

Vaguely profound.

The time it took to write five-hundred words: 07:43:23

I think this could’ve been faster.
I’m a bit sluggish this morning, however.

I worked myself hard on Monday so I’m not surprised that I ended up sore yesterday and still kind of ill today. However, I’m surprised at how quickly I’m bouncing back. Voice is nearly back and generally I feel fine.
It used to take me a bit longer to recover. Isn’t the body meant to take longer to bounce back the older you get?

I digress.

So the writing of this is kind of… flat? Not great?

It came out with little difficulty, which is something that I’m happy about.
I think the writing could’ve been a bit tighter.

Written at work.
