I think when someone says "busy...I'm busy. I think when someone says "busy" in this day and age, I think they might mean "unhappy". I DO have a "Richard Scarry book" job, yet know that when I'm not teaching, I'm busy, not productive. This year, I've gone from go-to girl to 100m behind everyone else, batches of the blues and (gasp) my first grey hairs. The article mentions institutional self-delusion, and I know that I'm constantly being told that if I don't prioritise everything at once, the world will fall apart. I don't want to become one of the people in the article who have to completely remove themselves from their environment in order to be happy, but I understand why it's happening. It might even have to happy to me soon, too.Egadsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-37467336000274619062012-07-07T16:42:21.351+10:002012-07-07T16:42:21.351+10:00I am really enjoying reading this weekend reading ...I am really enjoying reading this weekend reading list!
