…now this is a day off

i have a problem taking days off. don’t get me wrong, i do everything in my power to not be in the office two days a week, sometimes three if i work from a coffee shop. nevertheless, when i’m not in the office, my laptop is always with me. i can say fairly honestly that even on the two days i try and take “off” every week, i still do somewhere between two to four hours of work on those days. it’s not so much because i’m a workaholic, i just don’t see the point in waiting to get something done that will take me thirty minutes to do. if i see something in my email i can handle in a relatively short period of time… i’m going to do it.

today though, for at least a few hours, i am not going to be able to do that. i’m even going to turn my phone off i think, as mark, jason and i head out to the golf course.

i am absolutely, god-awful at golf. still, i realize two very important facts about the “sport”;

1. so long as we’re not driving around a cart, it can be really good exercise
2. it’s an investment in my future. i am sure that some day, i’ll have to meet people i work with or for on the golf course. i do not want to be whiffing on my drive when that day comes

mark has a little more talent and experience than jason and i, but i will be really surprised if i am not the worst person out there. thanks to my dad i have the tools to succeed, a nice set of clubs, a newer bag, and all the equipment i could need to be a decent golfer.

a decent golfer, ha! that’s the interesting thing about golf… all i want to be is “decent” at it. i don’t have crazy aspirations, i just want to go out there and not look like an idiot.

speaking of looking like an idiot, i will be taking my camera. i originally was not going to, but i decided just this morning that i would be remiss if i missed any high hilarity moments.

what do you think about golf?
