Biting off all you can chew, then adding a wafer thin mint

I’ve spent the last three evenings napping after work. I’ve been so tired and nauseous from a simple bus ride home that I come home incapable of even removing my makeup before falling asleep on the floor.

So that’s it. No more. I don’t want to take on anything new. I want to try having enough time to be able to take evenings like this, to be able to eat a full meal for myself, to be able to talk to friends again.

I’m notoriously bad at biting off more than I can chew, and notable for generally rising to whatever situation I put myself in and getting it done and done well. However, the projects are getting bigger, and my job will never take less time than it already does. Taking on these new projects may kill me if I’m not careful.

So here’s my list for completion.

I will complete these projects I have taken on on behalf of or under the supervision of other people:

• The Manitoba Comic Con
  This year, I’ve actually been given a title. I’m the Advertising Coordinator for an event that over 16,000 people attend. My involvement with the comic con has finally become resume-able. This is great recognition for the work I’ve done so far,
• Radio Schizophrenio, Huevos Rancheros, and PatrickMichalishyn.com
  My poor friend Patrick has had this project ongoing for over a year. I’ve had to shelf him time and time again for tight deadlines on new things. I feel absolutely dreadful about it, and want to make it up to him with a great set of sites that he enjoys.
• Teaching for Lanoie.com and the U of W
  I’m quite excited for this, but there’s so much work to complete in a very short amount of time. I have two courses to write, assignments to prepare, tests to make, final projects to go over… so much to do.
• Working at CTV
  I like getting paid enough to live on my own and eat, even if I don’t do either much yet. My job is important to me, and I have so much to do right now.

I will complete these projects of my own:

• My blog redesign
  Honestly, this is almost complete. I just haven’t gotten around to finishing it yet.
• IAteWinnipeg
  Seriously, it’s been well over a year since I tried to start this project. Enough is enough, I have to get it working.
• a graphic novel
  I have a relatively okay idea set. It has a little girl, some serious violence and a lot of radiation.
• a guide to riding the bus in Winnipeg
  I still think this will be an absolute delight to prepare, so I will.
• Design a new typeface
  Simplex Verbatim 243 Medium needs a friend, one with a shorter name and better lines.
• Lose some darn weight
  I’ve let myself go to a horrifying extent. I have to do this now, or else risk not being able to lose the weight as I get older.

I will do these things I’ve been meaning to:

• Complete Persona 3
• Play Dreamfall
• Play Fallout 3
• Play Half Life 2: Episodes 1 and 2
• Play Mirror’s Edge

I actually have to schedule in playing games, otherwise I’ll never do it. I may need to add a few more items here and there.

So there we go.
