   Had a great lunch at The Cheshire Cat, a painfully British
   pub in Ottawa that manages to not be cheesy. Also, it has
   excellent food and drink, which would help forgive the theme
   pub sins, if it were.

   I start work on Monday! It's approximately 9 months since I
   did full time work and I've only started doing bits and
   pieces of work since March. I'm excited though; I learned a
   lot in my voluntary time off about priorities and structure.

   I found that a lot of things that I told myself I wanted to
   do aren't all that exciting once you _actually_ have the
   time to do them. Or, alternatively, there's some things that
   I wanted to dabble in and once I was passed the dabbling
   phase I'm not interested any longer. And I'm not that
   interested in making things unless I have a reason to -- and
   there's only a limited number of things that I need to build
   for myself.

   So; in a way, apart from money to live off / social
   interactions etc. one of the main things I get from work is
   (hopefully) a stream of things that people need to exist,
   and then I can turn my efforts towards making them exist.
