KarenFay - Very Late CI
Today is my dad's 78th birthday so I made lunch for him. Mom was in the middle of a card game with her women friends! Then we went to the creamery to get our milk and enjoy some ice cream. After that, I'm good for nothing!
Maybe tomorrow will be better for accomplishing to-do's.
Peace,
Karen

Not a great day. I need to do various things, none of which I feel like doing. I have to remember that "I don't feel like it" is not a good reason not to get going!!!! Argh.

Journey 10:45 excitement in midtown Atlanta
Good morning! Boy am I sleepy this morning. Have I mentioned how much I hate the !@#$% time change?
I have read and processed my email and attended the weekly hardware meeting. I'm taking a coffee break now, then finish getting organized and making my todo list in todoist. I know I need to work on configuring ops mgr today but at this point I'm not sure what else . . .
The good news I HAVE to leave work early - our building is attached to the Hilton by a breezeway and we have to be out of the building by 4 today, by order of the secret service. It was on the news that McCain arrived here on Friday, so someone must be arriving in town to campaign for him - could be Bush, but rumor has it that it's Cheney. Can't be Billary, they're in Philly - and Obama is in Mississippi. I guess Obama wouldn't have secret service anyway, but Hillary does, I think.
It's normal for streets to be blocked but this is the first time they've cleared the building, so there's a lot of speculation about what could be going on . . .

Journey 2 pm - warning - parental advisory - rude comment below
went to toastmasters at noon and spent the last hour discussing a network problem that occurred over the weekend. Now to work on ops mgr for a while before having to leave to get out of Dick Cheney's way. Or, as my co-worker inadvertently put it - "I'm going home to beat dick" . I'll be laughing about that the rest of the day.

pro's CI - 8:30am (where is elisaveth?)
Good morning!
I miss Elisaveth in the forum. I love her day starters (much more clever than mine), and I missed her in the Paperwork Chatbox Circle this past weekend.
I didn't start early enough on some of the things in my list yesterday. I had to stay up too late to finish one thing that couldn't wait, and I still have dishes to wash this morning which is challenging my attempt to get to work early - especially since I couldn't get up early since I stayed up so late.
I have my session session with the anti-procrastination coach after work today. I'll report on how that went.

Yes, where IS Elisaveth?

Re: Yes, where IS Elisaveth?
I think I remember her mention a long weekend and a trip out of town? Not sure, though. I hope she's back soon, in any case!
she's back!
Wow, what a lovely thing to be missed! I missed all of you, too! It has been great catching up on everyone's posts today and realize what success everyone had with the Paperwork Chatbox!
I had a lovely time away for the three day weekend here. The icing on the cake was going to Olympia and seeing all the wild flowers blooming like crazy in the temple ruins. There were red and blue anemones, daisies, blue bells, buttercups, wild iris, red poppies, seas of clover and many, many things I did not recognize. We read the 'greek-fiti' which has a 'walk of shame' to the entrance of the stadium: 16 athletes whose cheating is immortalized!
Then we went and ate a seafood lunch (traditional Clean Monday (Ash Monday) luncheon and then flew a kite on the beach. The weather was lovely, our kids were not there to whine about taking our time in the archeological site, the weather was lovely... did I mention about the weather?! I am SO happy that spring is here: if you ever come to Greece avoid the summer and come at Easter time!
lots to do in the chatbox tonight, so I hope to see you there later!
hugs and smooches, E
