Word of the Week #405:

Calibration

Over the past week, I got a chance to take some time off work. After a few heavy months, it had been quite well deserved.

However, what had at the time felt like a LONG break upon later observation turned out to have been just three days.

That is odd, right?

I mean, yeah, it had been forever since I’d had three days off in a single week, let alone three consecutive days. Still, it is not a long time, is it?

And yet, midway through the second day, I was already feeling like I’d been off forever. And by the third evening, I had become restless to resume work.

It is weird how our definitions of “normal” keep getting rewritten over and over again.

Now that I’m back to work, I’m feeling “normal” again, which cannot be normal in the long run, can it?

Also, I suppose many people here might not know what I do, right?

Among many other things, I am an editor. So if you or any of your friends write and are looking for an editor, feel free to let me know.
