This weekend I got the urge to get one of my old computers out and tinker. It's been a long time since I've done anything with computers at home that's not photo or work related... and even then, usually I just play a game. I haven't had a computer that I could really call mine up and running full time at home for years, and messing around with this older one (trying to figure out what parts, if any, are still usable and such) brings back old memories that are kind of like a side of me that has been dormant all this time. You might think that my job would keep that side of me going, but doing something you like for work can be enjoyable and still not evoke the same feeling you get when it's all just for fun. Part of it is that what I do at work rarely involves the nitty gritty anymore since I've been a manager for a while, but even before that I still didn't get the same thing out of work as I did in my tinkerings at home. Anybody feeling this here?
You know you live in the country when you have to call the Sheriff's office on your way home from work to report a renegade cow headed up a dirt road because it's getting menacingly close to the highway.
