God - this job is so far away from the types of life-or-death situation that my legacy brain cares about. I thought my holiday would bring me back refreshed and ready for action. I'm still fragmented and bored, unfortunately. Could there be anything less important than making a video of someone's face look like it's spraypainted onto a wall? Could there be anything less important than working out some kind of flexible markup language for a content managed Flash banner? In the wake of the last few days, it's very difficult to give a flying cack. I can hardly remember what I used to find interesting about this job. I liked being immersed in a challenge. Now I'm floating about a jagged collection of problems that I need other people to solve. Maybe I need another holiday. Or maybe I need a change. "A change is as good as a holiday" as a someone tritely put it to me the other day.
