Concrete shoes

Today is a work day. It is Tuesday.  Every day that I work I have a specific order that plan to do things.  I say plan because things always change.  Most days do not follow according to my design.  Today for example:  Plan start imaging a lab and verify software deployment of another.  Simple right!  Powered on the first(note if our wake on LAN was working I would not have to do this).  All is well.  Second lab non of software is being deployed.  Oh Joy.  Updates need to be ran.  O.k lets do that.  Did not help... Try to force the install.  NOPE!  Met with Rodney to discuss yesterday and this week.  Updates again..  OK wait for it.... NOPE!!!!   Phone network Guy he's busy and will call me when he is free.  GRRRRR!!  Frustration begins to reveal itself.  Ok no big deal start imaging the planned group.  The test machine on bench is not starting crap.  Why is that?  Ok try to force it.  Crap!  Ok reboot.  Try to force it again.   Slow.... Eureka!  Ok might as well listen to music while I catching up on E-mail and waiting for call.  Ah relaxing.  Grrr crappy E-mail.  Is it lunch yet.  Nope only 9:45...   Oh do I ever hope we don't have a meeting!!!! 

That is a workday.  Now my days off...  I feel like I am wearing concrete shoes.  So many things I need/want to do yet, I seem not to find the necessary propellant to get them accomplished.  All kinds of reasons:
1. Overwhelmed
2. Subconsciously unwilling to commit.
3. Blah blah blah the list continues.

I know very well that to get what I want I will have to fight for it.  Perhaps I am just a reluctant old gunfighter that really doesn't want to fight but is being forced to.  I have always felt most overwhelmed and unproductive when a multitude of options present themselves.  Life to me is much less like a rat in a maze than a flow chart with thousands of entry points and no clear exit point.

I believe this is the most "technical" post I have ever made.  I apologize to whomever reads this.  It was simply what was on my mind when I began to post.  Perhaps this post will help unlock secrets of a "logical mind".  Anyway just got a phone call...  Must go put out a fire.  Not literally....  It is what we call a problem that takes precedence over what we are/ were working on.
