Work today

I had taken off Tuesday through Thursday. At the time, I must have thought that I would be closer to having my final two goals finished. I stayed home yesterday to get some stuff around the apartment done. I came in today but as of yet, haven't accomplished much. I have to work on an ECOMS problem, however that's not where much of my day went. It pretty much went nowhere. Not good.

eMail and Clarity

Collins, Monica P. [12:26 PM]:

just got my email down to 9 items

Lacy, Robert P. [12:26 PM]:

LOL!

4065 in my inbox unread

dont even want to look in other folders

Collins, Monica P. [12:26 PM]:

yes, i know how many you have

i can't keep that many; i tend to ignore everything and miss new stuff.

Lacy, Robert P. [12:26 PM]:

i see

Collins, Monica P. [12:27 PM]:

the only reason i wind up with so many is that i will go a couple of days w/o cleaning it out and then i stop cleaning it.

And we all know how, um, 'easy' it is to find 20-30 free moments around here lol.

Collins, Monica P. [12:33 PM]:

Because I didn't go into work, I got my ass in trouble over the blasted clarity, yet again.

Lacy, Robert P. [12:33 PM]:

orly?

Collins, Monica P. [12:35 PM]:

I had not filled out any of it.  When I don't do it on Friday, or Thursday before CDO, I tend to do it on Monday morning before 8am.

So I probably would not have wound up on the report.

Lacy, Robert P. [12:36 PM]:

:O

Collins, Monica P. [12:37 PM]:

I just took a look at when Parnell sent out here email: it was Sunday, so I still would have been screwed.  I have a reminder on my phone to do my Clarity, but I only do it on the weekend very sporatically.

Collins, Monica P. [12:41 PM]:

I had sent a reply to her query as to why the hell I didn't get it filled out - my words - however I retracted it because it would have sounded a bit flippant.

Lacy, Robert P. [12:44 PM]:

dang

Collins, Monica P. [12:45 PM]:

lol why do you say that?

Lacy, Robert P. [12:46 PM]:

curious as to what those words were lolz

Collins, Monica P. [12:47 PM]:

My words?  'As a matter of fact, if you must know, I do have reminders set.', Or something like that.

I've already got the remembering to do it part covered.

Lacy, Robert P. [12:48 PM]:

lol

Collins, Monica P. [12:52 PM]:

Right now, it's avoidance not wanting to interrupt myself, but mostly the former I think lol.

Work today

I worked some while at home today. I kept the TV off, so that I would not spend all of my time watching it. Even so, I was somewhat distracted with my trying to scan patterns on my home PC while working.

Attention

My attention today has not been fantastic. Conferring with Sharon about presents and checking into software specs for ToDo apps. On top of leaving early Monday and Tuesday, I so far have not devoted a lot of extra time to my last two goal items. I'd better get to cracking that whip if I want to get them done in the next month and a half.

Between a rock and a hard place

I wound up short on my time sheet by 9 hours.  The secretary had warned me about it some days ago and delayed doing something, then forgot about it.  If I stop what I’m doing to something else – like taking care of repairing my time sheet – then something gets missed when going back to whatever I was doing, even if so minor a thing like getting back into the right frame of mind, picking up from where I left off, etc.  If I delay doing it, it can fall between the cracks, just as this did.  I’m not sure if I added it to my task list or not.

 

Accomplishments last week

I made decent headway on my project at work last week. I could have accomplished more, except that I started looking for ADHD books in PDF forms for someone at work. Once I got started, I also looked for books to help me better break down programs so that I can find the problems better. Unfortunately after that, I also started looking at craft books and audiobooks.

I skipped the holiday party, selling my ticket to on Thursday because I had gotten behind, not getting a lot of work done. I did good making that choice, because I got my program changes compiled, and started testing those changes.
