[Working] at home

Currently, I work from home. When I say work, I mean I get paid to sit at my computer and do stuff... Important stuff.

I'm pretty up on the news. I was never such an involved citizen until I came to Brazil. Now I debate public policy and write letters to congress.

I write for this blog... in addition to reading a (few) others.

I tweet. I twit. I run errands. I clean. I cook. I explore this giant Brazilian city I live in.

I just went to the bookstore for fresh supplies. I'm currently on a African/Brazilian lit kick. I have five going simultaneously.

I'm learning Chinese, computer scripting languages and studying human rights abuses.

I paint.

I workout.

I realize this is most people's dream life - getting paid for doing all those things you never seemed to be able to fit in. However, being a highly educated workaholic, I am seriously (sadly?) looking for adventure or productive employment next year. Maybe in China! Writing for a provocative political website!

Besides, every time I get paid, I feel kind of like I'm stealing. Perhaps, I should consider it patronage for my intellectual work. I do do stuff when they ask me to... you know, stuff.



What do you think about the beard? Be honest... Ricardo cannot be trusted. He just gave me that "whatever makes you happy" crap when I asked him.
