The desk is a dangerous place from which to watch the world. – John Le Carre
I don’t like commuting two hours a day for this consulting gig I’m on. I miss having copious amounts of time to write and work on Real Joe stuff.
But when I saw this quote, it occurred to me that I could easily get insulated from the normal stuff of day-to-day work life that most everyone else experiences. The introvert in me kind of likes the solitary life of a writer sometimes.
I think I’ve been unconsciously complaining to myself about this, now that I think about it. Better to frame it as a great opportunity to ‘watch the world.’
Shit. Time to go to work already. Ooops, there I go again.
