running in circles.

Nov 16, 2007 13:12

So. I'm at work, starving, and ready to scream. Things that had been done are now back on the list. And of course, new things were added. I'm thinking about calling in some of our slave boys part-time workers and offering to pay them in store credit if they help me slog through this stuff.

TO DO AT WORK:

Straighten retail shelves
Remove non-inventory items from the main sales floor
Make SIGNS for during the sale.
Sort complete dross from worthwhile back issues.
Alphabetize worthwhile back issues
Make Sets of worthwhile back issues
Pull all Harvey Comics
Pull comics from off 'special demands' lists
Track down the orders AND the ordered items for Special orders
Clean under front desk
Sort mail.
Ask Kevin and Adam to take their personal stuff home.
Cover boxes backs that show in front window.
Double check box owners against customer listings
Go through alphabetized boxes and pull incentive covers and vertigo titles.
Numerically organize alphabetized boxes.

Oh. And b/c teachers all want their assignments BEFORE thanksgiving break, here's my list of SCHOOL stuff that's gotta get done b/c that's running around in my head and mixing up with the store stuff. The combo makes me physically ill. Let's segregate, shall we? Stars are due by Tuesday.

And that'll get me to the end of the semester. Cool huh? To see the finish line? That's always SO nice. OH. and while i'm making lists, here's the stuff that has to happen in my personal life, b/c I tend to freak out and forget about it until it rises up and hits me in the face.

To Do Personally
Laundry
Bills
Catch up on NaNoWrimo
Practice Inking
Vacuum Room
Clean Bathroom
Get the $$ together to get Kitty's vaccines
Get the $$ together to go grocery shopping.
(kitty litter, lunch meat, toothpaste, oatmeal)
Go to the Gym more often
Tend Online community obligations.
Put away all the family photos
Clean out my car's trunk

I wonder if my list of "to do" for myself is so much shorter b/c i'm not thinking of things i need to do to take care of myself or if i'm already doing the stuff that HAS to get done, and doing a pretty good job of keeping up.

That's a terribly constructed sentence.

I'm hungry. Gonna call out for something hot. The store is frigid.

I don't know that having the lists is helping this time. I don't feel any lighter for getting all this out there. I'm thinking I'm just hungry. My attitude almost always improves when i'm fed.

I'd put all this under a cut, but i need to SEE it every time i log in to stay motivated. Sorry about your friends' page. (it's visible to you guys so that I have to be accountable....even if none of you're gonna pull me up on the rug about any of it.)

Of course, if anyone local feels like helping, I will NOT turn you away. Thing is, though? I've been leaning on nearby (and close, dear) friends a LOT lately. So i'm not gonna ask anybody personally. No one has to be put on the spot, or feel weird about things. I can and will get things done. Help, while appreciated is totally voluntary (as always, but seriously, I gotta stop ASKING when it's stuff like my JOB). Thanksgiving break is coming... most of that school stuff can happen then. And the sale for the store will be over, so that stuff'll be off the list too.

What's wrong with me? Have i bitten off more than i can chew? Can i just not tell people 'no'? Am I doing MYSELF in with stupid amounts of fussy perfectionism? Am I a slacker that only gets INTO situations like all that b/c I get lazy and let too many things slide? Do YOU GUYS have 'to do' lists like this?

Oh. And today marks 9 years that Mom's been gone. Maybe that's why i'm feeling less than energized. I blame her a lot though. Maybe i'm just hungry.

I do have a lot of my Christmas shopping done. I'm very pleased with my selections. Though, really... i've not found the most perfectly useful and joy-inspiring things for the people i MOST want to give perfectly useful and joy-inspiring things to (regardless of the season or holiday). Phooey. It's another month yet. Something will pop up. I'm sure.

I'm buying pizza. It's bad for me, but you can't stop me.

confused, hungry, existential questions, hopes, lists, junk food, chores, shopping, mom, help, school, work
