Is There a Cure for the Summertime Blues?
Summer weather inspires procrastination, and other lame excuses.
Ken: Hey Brian, it’s already in triple digits out here. I really should retouch the paint on a few of my speakers, but I can’t seem to get motivated in this heat. I seem to be getting pretty good at procrastination. I think I could turn pro — Professional Procrastinator — I wonder if I could get paid for that… I already have the uniform. As a matter of fact, I am writing this article attired in said gray-tinged underwear. Anyhoo, any inspirational words to get me moving?
Brian: Oh, Ken… I’m not sure I needed to know that! Kind of like the whole e_commuting thing. People out there are doing their work from their home office dressed only in their bathrobe. Or worse yet, they are sitting in bed with a laptop perched gently on their bare legs…eeeeew! OK. Bad mental image. Maybe I can clear my mind if I address the root of your problem instead.
I know the heat doesn’t help. I just want to stay out on the deck spending some good quality time with the grill. For that matter, cruising around the Chesapeake Bay with some friends isn’t bad either. The problem is, it’s either too nice out to do maintenance on the gear in the summer, or it’s too cold to fool with it in the winter.
