"…Living only for the moment, turning our full attention to the pleasures of the moon, the snow, the cherry blossoms and the maple leaves; singing songs, drinking wine, diverting ourselves just floating, floating….refusing to be disheartened, like a gourd floating along with the river current; this is what we call the floating world…” Asai Ryoi, in Ukiyo Monogatari (Tales of the Floating World, 1661)

The Depth of the Work Madness
I certainly have not been diligent here for the last couple of days. We're still deep in the crazy time at work as we are continuously shuffling trying to accommodate the project that just won't die (being, ultimately, led by the Director Without A Clue). A little bit of a relief in that I've only been working 12 hour days this week and not the heavy hours I was last week. If it seems like all I am writing about lately it is largely because it is work that is consuming my whole day. I am looking forward to a bit of a relief this weekend when I am taking a trip up to Portland, but it is only going to be a temporary relief. Then it will be back into the depth of the madness.
