Hi all,
Working a later shift today, so I have some time this morning. The plan:

Falcon CI 11:00
O.k., well, I'm clean & dressed with only moderate poking around. Having one of those foggy brain days where putting together an outfit seems extremely complicated and involves staring slack-jawed into the closet for long stretches of time.
Making a cup of tea, hoping a little caffeine will jump-start the brain. Then off to take a walk & prep for tomorrow.

9:05 CI for Lark
Good morning everyone. Still cold here, and the workshop is pretty chilly. Some progress has been made this week, but where I am on the current project should've been yesterday morning. Got a call from a client first thing this morning who wanted me to drop everything for him. He doesn't know it yet, but he made the old "don't do" list. The biggie for today is to get caught up on work. I also need to break down and buy new insurance, and since the roads are clear, that's in the cards.
To do:
morning routine
spiritual time
catch up on work
buy insurance
noon 12 step meeting
finish kitchen table
check in again

kromer 7:30
Morning, all!
I might have a phone interview today (yay!), so I can't go into lab and lose cell phone service (not yay!). Working from home is always really hard for me, so I'll be checking in frequently.
Big tasks that need to get done today:
*Clean (1 hr)
*Prep for possible interview, set up other interviews (1 hr)
*Prep for Harambee tomorrow (1 hr)
*Exercise (1 hr)
*Finish and email coreg. analysis (30 min)
*Tweak weights in network flow alg. (2.5 hrs)
*Rough version of lab mtg pres. (2.5 hrs)
I'm going to start with prepping H. curric. I need to
1)Take notes from mtg yesterday (meant to get to this last night!) 15 min
2)Read/take notes on intro material and 1st lesson plan 15 min
3)Prep. words/short definitions for charades 15 min
4)Gather materials for charades and nametag activities 15 min
UPDATE 8:30 Finished prepping curriculum.
Next, I'm going to deal with interviews. This means:
1)Charge and turn on phone! (1 min ;-) )
2)Set up interviews with MC,C (10 min)
3)Add other interviews to calendar (10 min)
4)Re-read S application materials/list of people I'd like to work with (30 min)
5)Start putting together a list of possible interview questions (limit to 10 min)
kromer 10:15
Finished interview prep (it went about 1/2 hour longer than it was supposed to), plus did a little cleaning.
Next, I'm going to:
*At kaoba's suggestion, make my environment a bit more worklike (finish tidying my room, put on makeup and shoes). Should take 15-30 minutes
*Start in on lab meeting presentation. I've been really scared about this: it's on Friday and I feel like I don't have enough data. I have notes now, but that's all. So I'm going to force myself to really get started.
Riduculously specific plan for starting work on presentation:
1)Gather notes I have so far
2)Set up template/slide titles for each slide
3)Write text+notes on the diagrams I want for background section
4)Write up text for "Further work"
11:40 UPDATE: after 30 minutes of cleaning, I have failed to make any progress...I've been web surfing, having an early lunch, etc. I'm really nervous about my possible interview, and scared about starting my presentation.
Plan for getting past this:
I JUST NEED TO GET STARTED. I will commit to spending 3 8-minute chunks of time working on my presentation. After than, If I want to move on to other work I can.
kromer 12:30 CI
OK, I got started on my lab meeting presentation!
I'm glad I made progress, but it was really hard and I'm still kinda freaking out.
So I'm going to let myself stop on this now.
My plan is:
1)Fill out my ballot (not on my to-do list for the day, but useful, interesting, and non-stress-inducing, so I hope it'll help me calm down): 30 min-ish UPDATE finished 1:00
2)Finish and email out coregulator analysis: 30 minutes
3)Change algorithm from max-flow to constant-flow: 30-60 min
OK, I'll try all this out and check in when it's done/as needed.
UPDATE 1:15 Phone interview OVER, went well I think! Going out for a run now, update again when I'm back.
Sorry for the massively long posts today...
kromer 3 CI
Went for my run, showered, then wasted about 45 minutes and am very annoyed with myself.
Plan for getting back on track
*Pick up my room a little bit, it's getting impossible to work in here
*Run to corner store and pick up a healthy snack
*Close my email and turn on my internet blocker
*Change algorithm from max-flow to constant-flow and try it out
Check back in when that's done.
kromer 6 CI
Thanks for the encouragement kaoba, cause I'm definitely feeling so hot.
After a *lot* of procrastinating, I finally got all of the above done, also had dinner
Now I'm going to:
*Figure out cytoscape visualizations bug
*Try 2 more weight tweaks and visualize
*Spend 1/2 hour cleaning fridges
*Take a break, watch an hour of a movie
And then I'll go from there
UPDATE 11:30--was pretty unproductive, but I did figure out the bug and spent 1 hour cleaning...unfortunately, I watched the whole movie and failed to try weight tweaks.
Oh well, to bed...tomorrow is another day.
kromer, you're doing good!
Be kind to yourself, you've got stuff done, way to go!
working at home
Very hard! It's what I do. Very very hard to keep on track. One essential thing for me: always get dressed. It makes a big difference.
Good luck on your day!
