No, I get it. Sometimes you just done. I feel you robot.
Life Debt: A rambling.
I consider my time as the currency of life in a way. It is precious to us, we try to only give it where it makes the most impact, and then we also squander it. We are also consumers of time as a commodity of others. I may be up a time creek without a time paddle on this, but its just a ramble. My time, and a bit of yours.
I wonder then on the notion of time as a tangible thing, that we can get into a debt of time, or life, by our own disabilities, distractions, and disregulation of our surroundings. Huh, thats three D! I get into my head about "catching up" and why it is so hard to do so. Consider the kitchen. Your time spent after a home cook meal is better spent cleaning all of it while fresh, but is exponentially harder as you've just slammed a 3 course meal on for you and fam. You let it sit until tomorrow. 3 Days later (in adhd terms that is what "tomorrow" can mean), you spend exponentially more time to catch up, and still dislike it.
To wrap it up, I just really didn't want to do the dishes.
PS: I feel that could go more places as a discussion on broader topics, I just don't have time right now. :D
PPS: I did these actually morning after, I just needed a rant. :P
An inversion of fatigue. No, not the opposite of such, rather a set of feelings that I was able to grasp while in the depths of a heavy fatigue episode last night and this morning.
I calmly just went to the bed. I tried letting family know, and usually me and wife watch a show before I go to bed. Not last night, I was wholly spent. I am not sure what triggered this but it was like a page of transluscent paper had been placed over my current art. I could think mostly internally, but nothing came fully to surface, I finally went to sleep.
This morning a similar episode after being up for a few minutes. I had a bit of morning caffeine, then just felt heavy again. I went back to the bed for about 20 minutes and laid in, almost awake but again, that haze over my artwork. I felt like I was under water looking out at the world through a haze of light oil, like you put on a boiling pot of water for pasta maybe. I could see out, I could see me, inside, but it was just a haze and could only manage to keep hold of my observations. Stronger thoughts came up as I felt through my task list, a few problems to solve, etc. Then I FELT it, as if the page of translucent paper was lifted and turned up. I came oht of the water and I was clearer of thought. I was truly awake finally. I am. ot sure what to do about it, but observation is a good start.
I hope to be able to have mote control or planning next time. This isn't the first or last it will happen of course.
Today, in adventures with detailing MEP systems, I need to figure out a cohesive way to depict on a plan how there are actually 2 concrete penetrations for these 2" vent pipes. I model in each sleeve because there are post tension cables in thes 10" thick concrete slabs, so if it means moving a vent a few inches to keep the building structurally more sound, then I can do that. I guess. :)
In this case I will put in a section view and ask the General Contractor if those will even be ok on the slab edge, there is usually metal edging and a LOT of rebar there too.
PS, the larger penetrations are toilets. Because pooping is important!
TOOT!!
This is how my brain is when I am getting numb to the process of coordinating 3D Mechanical spaces. #digitalconstruction
