Collins, Monica P. [1:08 PM]:

oh, BTW, I am back to using the D-word.

Lacy, Robert P. [1:08 PM]:

?

Collins, Monica P. [1:08 PM]:

you know, diet.

Lacy, Robert P. [1:08 PM]:

lol

thats not how it works

Collins, Monica P. [1:09 PM]:

I know.  However, my weekends are usually different when it comes to how I eat, sleep, etc. 

Lacy, Robert P. [1:09 PM]:

i see

Collins, Monica P. [1:09 PM]:

Sad, but true.

I don't even take my scripts regularly on the weekends because of it.

Collins, Monica P. [1:15 PM]:

It's the difference between a 5 day plan, versus a 2 day plan.

Collins, Monica P. [1:31 PM]:

I told you that I marked what I should be working on everyday for the rest of the rating year, didn't I?

Lacy, Robert P. [1:31 PM]:

ya

Collins, Monica P. [1:31 PM]:

I calculated everything for the 'Exceeded' instead of the 'Expected'.

I've got three to get finished in the next three weeks.

Lacy, Robert P. [1:33 PM]:

dang

Collins, Monica P. [1:33 PM]:

lol, the three items are each 'this close' to being finished lol.

Collins, Monica P. [1:39 PM]:

So, how many items did you give yourself to have done by Feb 1?

Lacy, Robert P. [1:39 PM]:

a few

most of which are almost done

Collins, Monica P. [1:40 PM]:

same here.

I would really like to get those 3 I mentioned done by the end of July.  Having Exceptionals on my PGW would be really, really sweet.

Lacy, Robert P. [1:42 PM]:

yea

Collins, Monica P. [1:52 PM]:

I have the feeling that I'm gonna be putting in a lot of overtime

Lacy, Robert P. [1:53 PM]:

mmhmm

Collins, Monica P. [1:54 PM]:

If I were linear, it wouldn't be much of a problem, however, being an abstract ...

Collins, Monica P. [2:02 PM]:

hmmmm ... looks like I'm gonna have to look up what constitues an average salad size.

I just finished my salad, and I am fairly full.  I'm  guessing I shouldn't be feeling this close to bursting.

Collins, Monica P. [2:07 PM]:

lol, you should see how busy my calendars are lol

Lacy, Robert P. [2:07 PM]:

must be nice

Collins, Monica P. [2:07 PM]:

lol, um, yeah

Lacy, Robert P. [2:07 PM]:

i dont have the patience for calendars

in that i wont fill them out

or read them

Collins, Monica P. [2:08 PM]:

I normally don't either, which is why I don't know when anything is going on lol.  I'm trying a new tactic.

Collins, Monica P. [2:12 PM]:

On my left screen, behind Outlook, I've been keeping the Internet portal page and my Google Calendar page up.

I currently have my new PGW calendars residing in Evernote.  Maybe I can move all of that data to Google.  That way, I could set up a pop-up to remind me of what I'm supposed to be working on that particular day.

I like that idea.

Collins, Monica P. [2:17 PM]:

Actually, it's even better: a reminder/pop-up is far better than just having a page that I might or might not look over up.

Now I've just got to decide between my Google calendar or my Outlook one.

Collins, Monica P. [3:26 PM]:

K, I've decided: as much as I'd prefer to keep all of my work-related alarms in Outlook, I'm going to add these to GCal because it pops up each reminder in it's own box, instead of throwing them all into one box.
