Stress + poor time management = escapism

As my human body ages, I notice that time passes ever more quickly for me. It seems I spend more and more of my time working, and less of my time creating or relaxing.

I have visited Second Life and World of Warcraft many, many times in the last month or so, and berate myself constantly for it, as it is simple escapism from work stress (especially Warcraft).

Well, due to some rearranging of priorities in 'real life', I should be more free to express myself soon. The big work deadlines are nearly done, and with that comes an extra day off every week to attend to other things.

Interestingly, someone at my day job has decided to experiment with advertising our real life product in Second Life. Being the only person in the company with any experience at all in virtual marketing, I of course raised my hand to help monitor our progress and shape the brand.

So that gives me a real, legitimate reason to rez. And a reason to focus my creativity again on this blog. Please stay tuned....
