I’m in big, big trouble!
I received a package yesterday, one that I’ve been waiting for. Part of it was a new batch of books I’d ordered. I read on my commute, sometimes around the house, and almost always before going to sleep each night. As a result, I got through them quickly, so I have to refresh the supply frequently. Mostly it’s fiction to shift my mind to a different place for a while.
But that’s not the problem.
The other thing in that package was a new game for me. It’s Sid Meier’s Civilization IV. I used to play a prior version (I think it was II). These strategy type of games (sims I suppose you could call them) can really get their hooks in me. I decided to get this one – and one for soccer management – as a little splurge when my book royalty payment came in. Call it a little pre-holiday gift to myself.
I played the game a bit last night and boy did it remind me how much time you can lose once you get going. Hours go by in a blink. You don’t get tired. You don’t feel hungry. This could cost me days of productivity!
But it’ll be fun.
