As in nerd overload… or tech fatigue. That’s how I’ve been feeling of late.
Those of you semi-regulars here may know that I do embrace technology. Heck, I’m blogging, ain’t I? Though I am discerning in my usage of it… always aiming for a balance between the tech world and the real one. Plus, my non-ownership of an electronic leash (aka smartphone) is worn as a badge of pride and courage. I use what I need… and I currently don’t need a smartphone.
A lot of what I do involves the usage of tech tools in my work. This may explain my current state of burnout. It was also a symptom of my malady as I found myself ass-dragging as I plodded through the last couple of assignments with a dearth of enthusiasm. I’m of the opinion that one should like one’s work.
So, to combat that, I may take a break from it soon. Soon? Yeah, I have a couple of gigs coming up. As much as I’m feeling burnt out… I also like to eat. Once those are accomplished… I think I’ll take a “no-tech vacation”… especially where computers are concerned.
For how long? Maybe a week… maybe two. Not that you’ll miss me since my blogging rate has been pretty non-existent of late.
So, there you have it. Short… sweet… and to the point.
