Got home after my meds guy appointment around 5:30. My online chats were boring, so I went to the couch to play some Triple Town. When my game ended, I snuggled on into the cushions and fell asleep. When I woke up at 8:30 pm, I was overcome with a sense of embarrassment ( Read more... )

So far the biggest problem of having an eReader to load books I want to read is that I have access to books I want to read. If I were Evie in Out of this World and could stop time this wouldn't be an issue, but there are only 168 hours in a week, and hopefully I'm sleeping for about 50 of them. This leaves me with 138 hours to work, go to class, do ( Read more... )

I'm pretty bad about posting and keeping up on here. It's not that I don't love all of you, but I'm out of the habit of checking LJ during procrastination downtime at work, and the rest of the time I'm just busy (or hiding from being busy). Of course, I'll come here to ask questions of you. Thank hp for responses from alexandral or I'd feel like everyone was ( Read more... )

....Because the Wisconsin people on my flist are a sampling of the entire state demographic. *ahem ( Read more... )

How do you keep track of projects at work? I've had a basic worklist template in excel someone gave me when I first started missing deadlines, like 8 years ago. The simple fields are ( Read more... )

I got the following from a group I administer, and wanted to share the list. Actually, I'm using LJ to back it up in case my hard drive at work dies and the saved copy goes away. Right now (and the past couple of weeks)? I'm practicing the opposite of every one of these ideas ( Read more... )

1776 movie soundtrack to brighten my work day.

The overture starts off with the "Lees of Old Virginia" theme. I got all smiley and truly happy at my desk for the first time in a long time.

The organization I work for asks its employees to participate in rallies and other activist-type events. To be honest, I didn't even know the word "activist" until 2 years after I started working here, that's how politically (un)aware I was-and still am, to an extent. A lot of my job is in online communications, and through setting up and proofing ( Read more... )

One of my ongoing responsibilities is to go through the email responses for one of our general accounts. This is the "from" address when we send out activist emails or broad announcements. Naturally there are a lot of "out of office/vacation" replies when you send to 100,000+ addresses.

If I'm in procrastination-mode I've got time, I'll actually ( Read more... )

I'm hoping to rip through a bunch of filing that's been sitting on my desk for an embarrassingly long amount of time. I'm preparing to hand over this task to the department that should do it. I also realized this morning that I don't have to edit/update the instructions I wrote years ago because the receiving department assigns these numbers for ( Read more... )
