Where P is the momentum, and P = mv. v = velocity, naturally. But the m = inertial mass. As in, if something doesn't act upon and force the m, then there is no v and no P, and certainly no W of work!
I've not been blogging much lately due to the Jobs, but even after the education-related Job #1 and Job #2 finished a couple weeks ago, I'm still finding it hard to get back into the blogging groove. I'm still working Job #3, which is only part-time, but grocery stocking is giving me the most inconsistent hours and days, ever. It's getting to the point where I'm having trouble remembering what day of the week it is.
The Geekling has yet to sleep through the night; I'm not feeding him at nights, but apparently Grandma Ears are the same as Mom Ears, and hunger cries in another part of the house will still awaken me.
Furthermore, my watch battery died, so I can't even tell when I am, aside from night and day.
But most of all, I have a bad case of Inertia. I have a bazillion things to do, but struggle to complete the most time-sensitive ones. I am working on some posts, but stringing thoughts together is like watching syrup ooze down the bottle.
What do you do to get over Inertia?
She is one of my coworkers, this on job #3. Yes, I have three jobs, one almost full time, one seasonal evenings & weekends, and the other seasonal and weekends. Hence the general lack of regular bloggery due to 10- and 12-hour work days, 6-7 days per week. I am one of the many over-worked and underemployed, or perhaps that's underpaid, but certainly unable to make a living from one job, in any regards. I can't really complain all that much, given how many people lack sufficient, if any, employment at all, and how many other people are in the same overworked shoes.
That was the first time I'd heard the pair of words as a specific phrase, but I knew what she meant instantly.
For those of us with multiple jobs, we have a specific job that we must at all costs keep, for it provides us with the terribly necessary medical insurance. Without such we could not afford to see our doctors for even mundane issues, nor afford many medications, nor, [insert your favorite misfortune-averting phrase] be able to pay for emergency or hospital care.
Without medical insurance (and horribly, sometiems even with medical insurance!) anyone in the US is a mere emergency-room visit away from bankruptcy.
I would love to write a long post citing all sorts of statistics about the numbers of uninsured, under-insured, the perils of trying to go without and self-medicating or second-guessing, and all sorts of issues.
But I can't. I got about four hours of sleep last night. (I've not slept well because I'm out of analgesics; I've not been able to get to the pharmacy when they're open because I've been AT WORK and AT OTHER WORK, and it's not like I can just send a family member down to pick up a bottle of tablets, because even with insurance my assorted monthly meds cost $90 and that's not pocket-change.) Then I taught classes for some 6 hours, and then cashiered for 4 hours, and oy my feet hurt. But I gotta get to sleep, because tomorrow morning is my only free time this week before I go to work again at noon.
But hey, even though I'm overworked, I have an "Insurance Job". Thank goodness.
