Comment RSSTime Management and Weasel Issues
21.08.07 # 8:15 # Adventures in Real Life # One CommentI got to thinking about what Tim wrote the other day in regards to his time management problems. I also have a lot of trouble managing my time. My problem, though, is the opposite of Tim’s. I have too much spare time. In any given day I have two or maybe three things that I need to do. The thing is with all that spare time all I do is play Tetris on-line all day, and of course drink Blue Beaver Beer. Even though I have next to nothing to do, I accomplish nothing at all. So all my comics don’t get filed for two months, my computer doesn’t get it’s regular maintenance, I don’t read enough and even my animal husbandry duties end up getting put off. I think what I need is some sort of an agent. He could set up appointments and schedule tasks and then keep badgering me until I get them done. He could also do things like answer my phone and tell the solicitors where to go and how to get there, he could convince my roommate to wash the dishes once in a while, and maybe he could even give me ideas on what to write for this blog. The more I think about it the more I become convinced that’s the way to go. But on the other hand, hiring an agent would probably be kind of expensive. Even if he worked for Blue Beaver Beer, that’s still a lot of extra beer I’d have to buy. So maybe what I should do is get an intern. Someone who’s in college, who doesn’t need to be paid and is doing the job for work experience and school credit. In return, I would have the opportunity to shape the mind of a young person. Unfortunately, by the time they get to college their minds are already fairly well shaped. Obviously I need to get on a little younger. Maybe around ten years old. They’re old enough to use a phone and in this day and age they’re probably better on the computer than I am, plus they’re young enough that I wouldn’t have to share any of my beer with them. I think that’s what I should do, hire a ten year old to be my agent. That way I could spend more time with the weasel; doesn’t he look forlorn?
