retrosteve's CI 18:48 Sunday
Catching up on Friday's unfinished task of answering a tough question from a prospect. I must analyze what his lawyers are offering to do, what we're offering to do, and what division, roughly, could be made between us.
I estimate this as about 45-60 minutes of work. I've tried starting it 3 times and gotten nowhere. But it's Sunday night. I begin now, at 18:50. Checking in again at 20:00.

Every year that goes by leaves me a little bit good at a few more things, and no closer to fulfilling my promise. I hate birthdays.
retrosteve's CI 19:48 Sunday
Blech! I'd barely started when I was interrupted by having to give insulin to the cat, then a call from my parents. Just got off the phone and it's an hour after I started my one-hour task.
Checking in again, starting again. Will check in again at 21:00

welcome, retrosteve!
Working on a Sunday is rough. When I was freelancing, I always had trouble with that because I resented it. I'd procrastinate and procrastinate. I still have that problem on weekends. I want this to be my time.
You had to give insulin to your cat? That's... unique. :)

Thanks!
Thanks, Pro!
Yes it's hard to work on a weekend, but it's what I get for not doing the work on Friday. My cat has needed twice-daily insulin for over two years now. he's actually quite healthy for all that. see http://petdiabetes.wikia.com/
...And it's now 23:17, more than five hours later, and I've done my bills, bought a CO detector, read a thesis and decided on dialect lessons, and still not written the necessary letter!
Aaaahhhggghghg.

retrosteve's CI 11 November: Done at last
Now it's 00:26 and I'm done the damn work. Too late to enjoy anything else, but at least I can go to bed happy. Checkin.

pro's CI - 11:50am
Fully dressed now - fingernails and toe nails clipped, shoes on. I'm going outside for a while - maybe just take a walk, may eat lunch out, maybe buy some groceries or go to the bookstore. I'll go to the bookstore - I always like that. And also have lunch - I'm hungry.
Then when I come back, maybe I can do some work in my apartment.

Rexroth, I believe we are on exactly the same schedule: the other day I was starting a day thread and when I went to add it, you had just made one! I will look for you in the chatbox around the time I am posting: perhaps we can collaborate.

That will more than do it.....
please put your username in check-in subjects.
Elisaveth, lilimissy - please put your username in check-in subjects. We all do that so we can find our messages in the Recent Commetns list. If no one put their name in the subject, it would be a very confusing.
Thanks.
