It is deadening, you're right, but only when I'm here. It doesn't affect me outside work. It's a wonder they haven't fired me yet for being.....well, dead! Maybe it just makes me feel more alive when I'm somewhere else.<BR/><BR/>Emmaalpinedreamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13997588500771722330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29070294.post-47236470434678943752008-08-20T21:12:00.000+00:002008-08-20T21:12:00.000+00:00One thing I really enjoy about your blog is your w...One thing I really enjoy about your blog is your willingness to address the non-climbing realities of life: work, money, relationships, house and home. It's a tricky balance if we want something more than a solitary life of camping in the dirt. <BR/><BR/>I spend all day in front of a computer writing software, and you touched on something that has worked for me to keep me training during the week and trying hard on the weekend, and that's hunger: if I leave the crag never having quite climbed enough, if work sometimes prevents me from as many midweek sessions as I'd like, I find that the desire to keep after it creates an edge and intensity that is always there. Climbing remains a passion, and the motivation to pull harder next time is easier to come by. Sure, it would be great to climb full time with nothing else to distract ... or would it?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
