blocking sites

I had to go and block Wow! eBooks and ShareBookFree. I spent too much time on the sites looking for books. Even though most of the searches were for IT manuals, I did not need to spend that much time there. Not right now. Searching for a manual or two can be done in the 10 minutes that I have alloted myself. I don't need to look for the books uploaded for the last month before 4pm.

I hate being friendless

I never had anyone to share things with. I just came up with a project to work on that would be for my WebOS phone. Lacy has his IM turned off so I can't run it by him. I don't really want to run it by Massey because I wouldn't be able to get much help from him on it, since I don't think that he doesn't work with smartphones. It doesn't do much good to talk to the other few people here that I converse with.

This is why I wind up talking to husbands and boyfriends all of the time: I have no one else to talk to.

I hate this.

Crunch time

Not a good week. Coming off of a holiday on Monday, and leaving early (i.e. on time) Tuesday and Wednesday for appointments have not started this month off of the best footing. It doesn't help that I didn't have a lot of focus towards the last two goals that I need to try and finish before the 31st. I have to get all four components of the SDLC stuff finished, the fourth being the 'exceptional' item, so that it makes up for the SR that will not be completed. If needed, I'll abandon the SR after a week or so, so that I can concentrate fully on the SDLC. Actually, I think that I will definitely do that.

Big bites vs. small bites

Because I know that some assignment will take me quite a bit of time, I will (more than) often try to solve one of the smaller problems on my plate first. What often happens is that the small item tends to take a long time as well, leaving me behind on both of them.

I am cleaning out my digital post-it notes and I just came across this on one of them. I'm a bit better at this. I have assigned myself certain times that I can work on small tasks.
