Ash Wednesday and Lent
Today is Ash Wednesday, which marks the beginning of Lent on the Catholic calendar. While I'm not Catholic, I decided that this year I'm going to do a little purification ritual of my own. That's right, I'm going to give something up for Lent. Choosing what to give up took a lot of soul-searching, but after thoughtful reflection I've made my choice.
Overtime.
Yep, I'm going to give up overtime for Lent. It's going to be tough, given that I've been binging on it the last six months, but I think with the support of my family and the community I should be able to make it. I just ask that you all keep an eye out for me. If it looks like I'm surrending to temptation, remind me of my committment to giving myself some fucking slack for a little while.
Yeah... this'll work.
