Today

[fjm]

Today is a Worldcon day. There are 100 emails to answer, and files to check. It's the end of April so in particular today is the day I audit the table sales file and send out final notices

Tomorrow's mine. I'm trying very hard (and failing) to not get sucked into things except in the time I've set aside as Worldcon time.

It would be the same here, albeit with rather fewer emails, except for the rather exceptional circumstances of this weekend:

- first weekend post-Eastercon - once a year - coincides with
- B's catalogue/website update - monthly, but more work for once a quarter - with
- celebrating B's parents' 67th (natch!) wedding anniversary yesterday, with lunch party for 16 which started at 11am and ended at 6pm - with
- having only 3 days of paid work this week before embarking on an unspecified period of formal unemployment in which the theory is I have time for conrunning for a few months

So I reckon that on this particular Sunday when I have finished procrastinating I will do the Porcupine Books website work and Loncon can wait until Thursday. Ho hum.

Good luck.

Good luck! We're knee deep in the accounts....

Yes, I agree. 9W is on a much smaller scale but the thing I had completely failed to appreciate was the time it would take, doing boring spreadsheet updates, sending emails, responding to emails, making and crossing things off lists, and researching stuff. It's not horrid, but it's certainly not glamorous.

And right now I am trying to reconcile a spread sheet that has mysteriously gone wrong.

Anyone telling me *now* that I should have used Access will be told to invent a time machine on the spot or face the music.
