On this ostensibly shitty morning (we've had a few of these this week... wtf weather?), I rush out of my house sore as HELL from the gym yesterday to make sure I'm on time for my train. Big grant meeting today at 10 30 AM; can't be late ( Read more... )

I rolled in to work about 45 minutes late today. Whoops! I don't care about arriving late. I care that it could possibly impact my ability to leave by 5 to go to the gym, which is the one point of the day I get to kind of be outside my head for a bit. It's cathartic to drop weights on your head, trust me. Ehhh, Will'd get it. My ExecDirec staring ( Read more... )

-Fuck work! With our awards show less than a week away, the stress levels have been cranked up to obscene. I'm on short-deadline, fast-turnaround basis right now and pushed the things I was actually hired to do off to the side. I've no problem handling the work, but the stress is mounting and is ridiculous. It causes me to lose focus and to be ( Read more... )

...and I despise Mondays. You can imagine what a horrific ball of joy I am on a Monday morning.

Our big grantor site visit is today. For my big mambajamba $500,000 ask. This could determine whether I win or not.

edit: postponed to November. Stress level unaffected. Fuckedy-fuck-fuck.

Yay!

-I left my iPod in my car. It's on 110th street and has been since Monday. I'm lazy. The lack of music is driving me batty.

-I found out last night that I can write a 5 page proposal in 2 hours. 50 minutes even, if you count the amount of time I spent fucking off on the internet and texting my girlfriend. More amazing is this direct quote from ( Read more... )

This nasty progress report/new request proposal I've been going batshit about for the past couple of weeks is now due Friday. I was sitting pretty, quite happy with today until I made a series of realizations.

• Our shared drive went down. I've just heard it might not be easily recoverable, if at all.
• This progress report requires a metric ton of ( Read more... )

What a weekend!

-I kinda sorta neglected to mention to my darling girlfriend that I'd be in Maryland this weekend. I've only been plotting to drop in on her all week. Must've slipped my mind. Huh. Guess I'm getting old. I found a cute, drunk purple fairy to deliver a rose and a note and used her diminuative frame as a screen to sneak up and pounce ( Read more... )
