Today was one of “those” days. I like to call them “hamster in the wheel days”. I won’t hear that a hamster is happy in the wheel, yeah the origional “ooo wow a wheel” fun is there but it’s temporary. Eventually even a small hamster brain will get to the “come on I’m going nowhere this sucks” stage. I think from observing hamsters the next stage is “right that’s it if I go faster I will get somewhere”. It seems a pretty self perpetuating cycle of getting nowhere but really fast. I would like to point out I have had hamsters hence the observation and that I am not some dodgy hamster stalker. You won’t catch me late at night watching hamster cam or anything like that.
Hamster days are pretty self explanatory. The getting nowhere but doing lot is often the way of it. Today I seemed to do so much, I got up and moved about and everything, I typed loads and shifted the mouse on a marathon. Yet, now I look back at the day the accomplishments seem well . . . unsatisfactory. Basically, looking like I’ve really done nothing, unless doing nothing counts.
Hamster days are also closely related to “bashing your head against a brick wall days”. Today had tendencies towards both of these unoffical dulladays. There was a fair bit of code whacking and muttering. The up shot of it has come down on the side of the hamster day though. Hopefully tomorrow will be one of those “time machine” days where the minutes stretch to the achivements of weeks. Strange how these days are less frequent than the other types.
