Aaaand, I'm caught listening to a playlist of the most popular New Order songs, starting with #1 Blue Monday.

I've always had the impulse to do stuff like this, chipping off the parts of my life that I don't like regardless of how much I'll have to sacrifice in the future for that. I guess that it's not really a self-destructive impulse but more like carpe diem.

I'd like to work 4 hours a day 4 days a week. Let's remove Monday or Friday. I don't really have a problem. Will I start hating Tuesdays? Maybe, but I'll be happier while hating on Tuesday because I'll have a victory behind me, having eliminated Monday from my work-week.
