Sorry about the continual changing of themes, folks. Just trying to find one that really fits. If someone wants to dream up an original one that fits me, that’d be nice too. I’m sure I wouldn’t refuse that. Hint. Hint hint.
So for the first time in… uhh, years, I’m shacked up in four walls of my own choosing. I chose this office purposefully because it was at the end of the hall – conspicuously away from the people who might seek me out.
Alright, I’ll cut the bullshit. It was unoccupied when I came knocking.
I feel like I was able to focus much better today with less distractions, but that one major distraction… the telephone… is still there. I also need to seriously consider discouraging people from sending me tons of IMs every day. Not sure how to do that without being incredibly rude though.
It’s a late night at the computer before tomorrow, which… well, work’s closed, but I might be training the helpdesk anyway. Who knows? I’ll be checking email at around 7am to get that note.
In between working on course notes, developing little handouts and listening to RadioIOAmbient, I’ve been ripping my age-old CD library to iTunes to load onto the 80gb iPod. Scary thing is – I’m almost halfway through it and I’ve filled up 1/10th of the iPod’s capacity. Hooray for miscalculation!
Everyone knew it was sorta in work, but CNN starts the new year off right by proclaiming that Indiana Jones 4 is scheduled to start filming in 2007… for real!
Only a day into the new year and I’m already looking forward to 2008. I can hardly wait to see what other news comes out of this… and the people who try to sneak onto the set, steal script details, etc… har har… can’t wait!
Well, tonight is another night for that New Year’s thing. First off, let me say… Happy 2007!
Today we ate/socialized with Whitey and Vo0 at Cheeburger Cheeburger in Providence. Funtastic time! Thanks for the Christmas gift, guys! I can hardly wait to play it! I’m glad you guys are back in town and enjoying it so far. This town has become so much more interesting lately – and it’s only getting better. Besides, you’re just keeping with the trend of everyone moving away… then coming back… heh.
Justice was served… unfortunately, he couldn’t have died like a dog – the way he made so many others suffer.
Here’s to hoping the virgins waiting for you are all transvestites.
The night is silent once again… time for all of the Santas out there to stir up the dust from the closet. Merry Christmas from our family to yours 🙂
I seem to keep learning this lesson over and over again:
Too much FRANTIC multitasking means that work does not get done reliably. Focus required.
By the time 2:00pm or so rolled around, I felt like I had been bowled over. I don’t know what happened, but I am so tired it’s not even funny. I was fairly spunky this morning, but I’m just exhausted. I couldn’t concentrate… was practically narcoleptic… and I don’t have a clue why.
What am I doing wrong?
Wow. 6:38am. I’m lucky I got up – I didn’t go to bed until about 1:20am this morning. 5 hours of sleep and the day looks to be long on scheduling. There are 9 meetings today, most of them back to back… and they walk all over my lunch hour. It’s going to be rough, keep me in your thoughts.
The subject of taking better care of yourself has come up again recently. Jennifer blogged about having headaches and the need to take better care of herself. I too need to do the same. I’ve said it countless times before (but you’ll have to rely on memory since I wiped all of that out in the old blog) – I need to slow down, stop working so much and try to keep my mind off of work all the time.
