Just Call Me Martha
I know the song goes “It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas”, but to me “It’s beginning to look a lot like I’m ready for a stay in the loony bin” thanks to all the deadlines that have imposed themselves on my life.
December started just peachy with careful plans laid out for buying and wrapping gifts, making Christmas cards, baking cookies, etc. And then a medical test on December 1 and the subsequent call from the doctor threw all those plans in disarray. So now I’m preregistered for surgery on December 17th (and already have a lovely plastic wrist band which does sorta look like a...
Tamales - yum!
I am exhausted.
I have spent the entire week working on a report that has just about taxed my little brain to death. Oh, this won’t be any problem, I thought to myself. I’ll get this baby done in an afternoon or surely no longer than a day. And so here I sit Thursday afternoon, and I just finished. And I started working on it Monday morning. Now granted, I was out of the office at an Advanced Excel seminar yesterday (and it’s a good thing too because I needed some of those tips from the seminar to finish up the report today). So it took me 3 days to finish (not 4). But still – there...
The Crawfish Princess
This was just not a good football weekend. First the Aggies barely lost on Saturday, then the Texans barely lost on Sunday and then on top of it all I lost my fantasy football game. That’s two losses for me which really sucks. I’m still tied for first place, but still. My players need to get their acts together!
I’m still working on my novel for NANOWRIMO, but my writing slowed down quite a bit this weekend. I’m up to 16,831 words which is still ahead of schedule. And just this morning I thought of an entire new section I can insert where I talk about the list that I created in January...
Spicy, but Sweet
So I’m sitting here at work on Friday afternoon. It’s 2:30 and I’m ready to go. Except I can’t go until 5:00. Well, probably 4:30. I do tend to sneak out of here early on Fridays. Especially since my boss tends to sneak out of here around 3:00.
I have done a little bit of actual work today. The financials are done for October already! Yea! It’s a definite record being done in only 6 days. Since I finished early, I’ve spent a great part of today being unproductive I guess you would say. Well, productive from my point of view, but not so much from the viewpoint of my employer. But...
