So that life thing…
It looks like the last time I updated my blog was something about waiting for your life to begin. Well, I wish I could say that I haven’t updated in a while because I’ve been out living my life. The simpler truth is that I’ve not updated because I’ve been quite busy working. Well, that’s all about to change! No – its not that I lost my job (at least not yet that I know of…), but more because I’m trying to find a better balance in the life that I do have.
I don’t mean to sound like one of those “find your authentic self” people, but that pretty much is what I’m trying to do. I was telling a good friend tonight that I default to “work” mode. It’s great for my employer, but not great for me. If I’m going to throw myself into hours and hours of work, I need to do more work on myself. If what I decide is my passion (for now) relates to work, then all the better for them. But I’d like to have a little something to default to after the 6-6 shift ends.
So, here’s a question for you: What do you default to? TV? Video games? Reading? Let me know in the comments!

I tend to default to work mode. When I was still in school I used work as a way to avoid schoolwork or other things I didn’t want to do. I also tend to default to a very negative mindset- if I don’t consciously choose to be neutral or positive, my brain tends to get very negative if left to its own devices.
