Hi Pro Buddies!

Chemgirl CI 12.48pm

I am actually online during the day today :)

Am having a productive day, need to keep up the momentum though.  Have sorted through all my experiments and listed the ones I need to include, now need to sort through approx. 1000 SEM pictures :P

Went in to Uni and re-enrolled for a month, which gives me a month from today to submit!

Keep on going everyone!

Journey 2:42 are those bubbles or giant olives?

Maybe that's a giant martini glass . . . with olives  . . .

Journey noon

Having a good day, but still haven't taken that shower!  I need to work on getting in the shower as soon as I get home from the gym.  Well, guess I'll take shower on my lunch break! 

Administrative tasks done, and MIT #1 is in progress.    Also took care of an unplanned item, following up on some error messages from last weekend. 

I can't believe I'm having to do this, but I'm bookending a shower, hehe.

Lark @ 10:17 am

Hi everyone. My main work project for yesterday was a bit disappointing, so so re-doing is in order. Bummer, but really not alot of time and work. Would rather it be right. One thing has to be done outside (no room in), and it's only going to be 52 degrees. Brr. Also, since I'm all jazzed with de-cluttering, more of that's in order. Gotta go...

e's wednesday

 woke up late, so C woke up late and I had to take him to school. Then I finished the rest of the shopping so I could cook what I planned. Now there is no place to put anything and I want to go back to bed. It is dreary out, and very dark in the mornings. I don't recall it being that dark in the mornings, so i think I will design an alarm clock that slowly increases the light in the room as it slowly increases the sound in the room. It is either that or get an iv of coffee while still in bed.

Today I am going to work on decluttering. I also keep forgetting to bring my library books back, and I know they are overdue. I want to get microsoft outlook to work, although I am still struggling with getting around in Vista. 

Laundry, meds, breakfast and groceries are done. But I need to put the groceries away. I am wondering if anything has to be refrigerated so I can leave them in the bags......

Then financial aid, insurance, straightening and job search. ha ha. 

e's alarm clock

 There is such an alarm clock!   See this post:
I've seriously considered the coffeepot on the nightstand too . . . I have some friends who live in a small A-frame in the mountains, and the bedroom is really just a loft, so they have to climb down a LADDER to get to the coffee pot.   They put a little 2cup coffeemaker by the bed with a timer and the smell of coffee wakes them up the morning.   That's a great idea . ..
or there is always the clocky  
As you can see, I have given this quite a bit of consideration lol.  Right now I have three alarm clocks and I get up out of frustration or when my family yells at me to shut the darn things off.  But I do get up on time, mostly . ..

alarm clock hell

I would shoot anyone who used three alarm clocks. However, I am sure that my son will need at least that many to get up on his own. What he needs is an alarm clock that rubs his back, pulls the covers off, turns on the shower and helps him to his feet every morning. A mother replacement.  The clocky he would just roll over and stick his head under his pillow and let everyone else look for the damned thing.

 

However, I am seriously going to look at the lightening alarm clocks, either that or set a timer on the bedside lamp!

Journey 8:45 yay, wednesday!

I am celebrating Wednesday!  Wednesday is now my favorite day of the week.  Working from home two days in a row means I can leave everything in place and pick up right where I left off.  No schlepping around folders and laptops.  No booting up and reconnecting to the network.  No traffic.  No shower.  Wait!  scratch that, I WILL take a shower today lol. 

Once again yesterday, I goofed off during the day and ended up working until 7:30, but it was ok.  I got a good bit done, and took lots of breaks.  Maybe Tuesdays would work better if I just go with the flow of my energy, work a bit, do a little housework, goof off a bit.  It's not working well to try to force myself to work from 8-5 anyway. 

Wednesdays work much better for some reason, partly because I know have to get finished early so that I can babysit.  And I look forward to seeing my grandson a lot, now that he's almost two he's a lot of fun.  Although he totally ratted me out for giving him froot loops and got me in trouble with his parents :)  He can't say grandma yet, so he calls me Bam-mom and he said "Bam-mom, froooot loooops"  as soon as he got in the door.   oops. 

 

So anyway, I'm rambling.  I've been to the gym, had a healthy breakfast, and set my MITs for the day.   I have some administrative stuff to do first off, then I'm going to get that shower.

kromer 8:35 CI

Busy day today!

I'm going to aim to spend 6 hours in lab today (9:30-2:30 and 4-5), working on PFs project.
MITs for that project are:
*Finish implementing clustering
*Finish looking at coreg neighbors
*Finish getting esr dataset

Other MITs are:
*Send email to PT
*Start filling out ballot
*Call AG
*Email 1 prof
*Finish making curtains

Scheduled: probability 2:30-4

Other tasks:
*Get list of new test datsets
*Review previous dataset list
*Deal w/ WM
*Read PP's paper
*Read NM's paper

I'm goin gto spend 30 min now working on filling out my ballot. Then I'll head to lab.

Update 9:45--filling out ballot took way too long, but at least I'm done now! Heading to lab now.
Update 10:45--finally got my behind to lab. I'm going to check on clustering code, then I'm going to work on coreg. neighbors idea. I'll work in the chatbox to keep myself on track.

Update 1:45--made progress on clustering and finished coreg. neighbors stuff. Now I'm going to start next step in clustering, then compose a draft email to PT, then go to probability class. After probability class I'll finish getting esr dataset and get a list of test datasets.

Update 4:15--composed draft email to PT, went to probability
I'm actually going to head home now and call AG, since I want to make sure I don't miss him. Then I'll email a prof, finishing my non-lab MITs. Then I'll have dinner and try and finish my lab MITs.

Update 5:00--went home, left a message for AG.
Turns out GR wants her sewing machine back tomorrow, so finishing curtains has become a MIT. So I'm going to mount curtain rods now, then email a prof, then have dinner. 

 

kromer 12:45 CO off-track day

I ended up spending all evening on curtains+cleaning+calling AG, and didn't get my other MITs done. Shower and bed now, tomorrow is another day. (This morning/afternoon went fine, it was just the evening that veered off track).
