I've tried doing it like that from time to time, but nothing much has come from it.<br /><br />Sarah: Motivation is a major factor in my life right now. I can never quite put both motivation & time together at the same time.<br /><br />Donna: Thanks for stopping by.<br /><br />The illusion of time. Those who got, do. Those who don't, make semi-fruitless attempts and getting it.<br /><br />Alex: Most definitely, but when you work for the guv'ment (on the state level), the 1st thing that gets implemented to show that the politicians mean "business" is a hiring freeze.<br /><br />Birgit: Thanks for stopping by.<br /><br />It most definitely does. There was a time when I was able to do a little writing at work. But those halcyon days are long gone.G. B.
