I Need Clones
I would like to curl up on the couch with a book today (Green by Jay Lake, specifically) and cuddle with the cats and read, but I have four pressing projects that must be done instead of anything else.
1. Huge ugly data entry project for my dayjob. Yes, I have been sent home with it to work on over the weekend and for the next however-long, which they want to be Friday, but I'm thinking at this point might be more like a month from Friday.
2. Volleyball team photo shoot. I have to finish cleaning up these photos and get the orders in Very Soon, as they have a deadline for when they need them. And I am unhappy about how many of them turned out, but I will fulfill the order and not poortalk my own work (though I blame my camera lens having focusing problems in that gym) and cross my fingers.
3. Finishing uploading photos from the orientation session last year, since I have to get that done before I can invoice for this year and the uploading of this years, which I got done *before* knee surgery. I have horribly screwed up getting this done in a timely fashion, what with knee surgery.
4. I have to patch and sand and stain and varnish the f*&*&%%ing table that Phil's parents gave us, by the Sumo Party, and Phil has flatly refused to have anything to do with it except by nagging me. This makes me actively pissed off at him, the lazy, no-good, passive-aggressive fucker! It's not like I have any more skill at doing this than he does! Fucker.
Ah. Feeling much better now. Except I don't actually feel less stressed because I wrote this out.
I have to work on the day job project for a lot of hours, and the volleyball photos need to be ready to go by Monday, I guess. The rest will have to go hang for a while.
At least I got 11 hours of sleep last night. I really needed that--I feel much more balanced. Lack of excessive amounts of sleep makes me decidedly unbalanced.
