J.

Have to do my benefits enrollment today, insurance and IRA and all that crap.
J.
journey 11:15
benefits package done, and helped some linux users with an ftp problem. Next: ldap for an hour, then a lunch break.
J.
journey 3 pm
had enough of ldap for the day, moving on to the eval. both of these tasks are new projects in the beginning stages and I hate that part. Doing ok today staying on task today though, although it always seems to take me longer than expected to ramp up to a new project. Maybe I should modify my expectations and just accept that I can't start off knowing how to do something that I've never done before.
Back at 4ish.
J.
journey 4:15
eval project started.
SL additional form found and printed.
Now, 10 minutes on the tax thing and I am done for the day. It's friday so I can spend the entire evening goofing around on the computer if that;s what I want to do!
Have a wonderful weekend everyone! Monday is a holiday for me! I'm bringing home some reading material that I'll try to wade through and also I hope to spend some time with my grandson.
I hope I have not bored you all to tears with all my numerous checkins but I am so glad you guys are here for me to check in with. It really helps.
J.
done outta here
see you guys in the morning

Not fun!
I just finished doing the this a week or so ago. We had to go to an hour and a half seminar to hear about the changes in the insurance plans. I thought I understood it all until I got home and started looking through it
I finally got it figured out and made a decision, but I had to look through it forever.
insurance plans
yeah, we had some changes too - mainly the rates went up and the coverage went down! Well, that's not really true, the coverage is actually a tiny bit better, but the rates did go up about 10% :(
Oh, well.

WoW
Hi Edge,
I know you're not asking for comments, but I play WoW, so I my eye was caught by your post. I try really hard to limit it, but it can be such great relaxation!
I find games like WoW are better for me that repetitive stuff like solitaire, etc. That brings out my addictive personality with a vengeance.
Sims sounds like fun too.
Best,
N
Thought it over
Heh, I didn't end up playing the Sims after all. :-p
I'd deleted all of the games on my laptop last September in a bid to control my obsessive playing and insane time wasting (seriously, where do the days go when you're playing, right?). The Sims 2 was the only game that remained because I was too lazy to figure out how to uninstall it (there was a glitch when I tried). It's always there at the back of my mind, calling to me, but so far I've been able to resist its lure. Today the urge was particularly strong, I've got to admit, but luckily, through some unforeseen good fortune, I found an unlabeled CD on my bed (my sister must have put it there when she was cleaning the room) and I put it in to see what it was, and it turned out to be a movie. So, I ended up watching a movie instead of playing the Sims, which is something that I am very grateful for, because at least the movie has an ending.
So yeah, through no real strength of character, I was saved from spending an entire day wasting time on a computer game, but I'm still happy about it :-) Hopefully I'll be able to go some time yet before the urge grows too strong again :-p
As for WoW, now that is one game I am never going to try, simply because everyone says it's so awesome. I know I could not withstand its power. I would forever be its slave, playing until I die of starvation and bathroom breaks deprivation. Yup, I know my limits :grin:

WoW
I'm a Wow addict too and I can spend all day on it if I don't set some limits. What server are you on Nan?
My brother, daughter and nephew play too. I talk to my brother online more than I do in person. We are a family of geeks and nerds :) but we like it that way.
At least I'm the kind of mom who understands that you can't clean your room right now because you're in an instance dungeon!

Good morning, Friday
I am in a particularly pleased-wtih-myself space this morning: all sorts of things have been falling in place this week. I re-implented Fly Lady, this time following what she sends, so my sink is shiny, the main course for dinner is already fixed and the kitchen floor was mopped last night, better yet, by my eldest son. Better yet, I am chipping away at the hand washing pile, which for years I have felt defeated by. I picked up AND threaded my shoe laces through shoes and have spaghetti sauce made for another two meals. I am finding that following this system is like learning to juggle: once you have the nack of keeping two balls up in the air, a third is not quite so difficult.
For today:
revise annual report with S (deferred til Monday)
revise Job Description with S (deferred til Monday)
submit work order for photos x
file, file, and file some more
get oj, tomato, cooking veg and greens
bakery cookies and bread.
drop off tailoring
pick up shoes
drop off jewelry
1/2 hour of taxes
1/2 hour of filing at home
pick up movie l
create labeling system for artifacts
fill box 1, add to database x
repack artifact boxes
drink water X
make breakfast X
dust mop c bedroom
meds X
vitamins X in progress
walk to work X
AAICU files for Olga
Flylady
good job Elisaveth! I tried Flylady but I find it a bit overwhelming and her web site was just too . . .busy . . . but I implemented a couple of her ideas and they do help a lot. I like her 15-minute timer ideas and the 'hot spots'. I do not shine my sink every night! But I have gotten a lot better about not letting my 'hot spots' turn into huge piles of junk.
J.
re flylady
I agree with you about the flylady site being ... overwhelming, but I find it so helpful to have someone else organize what I do when that I am taking what I like and leaving the rest. Last night I found that I just "didn't want to". and rebelled against myself, but today feels better.
