I’ve been feeling in a rut lately. Work is less interesting to me than it once was, and I find myself drifting off for long periods. Did you know that some psychologists consider daydreaming a mild and relatively harmless form of dissociation? Kind of cool, no? Anyway, I’ve been dissociating more frequently than is really productive, and I’m afraid it’s starting to be noticeable. It might be encroaching depression, but then it doesn’t really feel like I expect depression to feel (Nobody expects the encroaching depression!).

Worst of all is that I haven’t been writing. Except this blog, occasionally, which doesn’t really count. Other stuff, which I will now attempt to explicate and justify, in the hope that it will provide some kind of jolt of inspiration. Bear with me. Hidden in here is a badly framed (even Byzantine) request for the advice of my trusted friends.
