The tally

Today marks the tenth day of my 12-day hermitage. Work has the better of me. I came home from town on January 1, and since then I have:

• seen exactly three humans I know personally
• in exactly two outings
• which were the only times I dressed in something other than ugg boots.

I have written*:

• ~129 emails
• of which 25 weren't work-related
• of which 15 did not relate to the two outings mentioned above
• and of which only one was longer than three sentences, and/or remotely interesting.

I have:

• finished Dexter Season 5
• started Twin Peaks Season 1
• watched one Alfred Hitchock film (Rope)
• finished one book and countless New Scientists
• downloaded one album and around 10 podcasts
  
• listened to music endlessly.
  

I have also:

• gone stir-crazy.
  

This is what remote work will do to you.


*I have also written an ebook, two articles and the content for two websites, but that's hardly the point here.
