kromer 9:35 CI

Yesterday was a sort of cruddy day, so today I'm feeling a bit behind. I want to avoid giving myself an overwhelming list to "make up" for yesterday.

So, MITs are:
*Finish trying out pset
*Ask around lab about comm. mtg
*Look at seq
*Email about harambee, HPLC, deacons, lent devotional, G
*BrdU protocol
*WM bug
*Exercise

If I have extra time, I will
*Ask about next step RS project
*Plan for asking others about comm. mtg
*post GSEA, bug S

And I'd also like to do something social in the evening.

Working on finishing pset now. 

kromer next day CO

Didn't do so well...I exercised, asked around lab about comm. mtg, finished trying out pset and mostly finished looking at seq, but I didn't do the rest of the tasks.

MIT's

Hi Kromer, looking good. I see you also use MIT's, are you using Leo Babautas (zen habits) system?

re: zen habits

Leo Rocks!

** brother lawrence, whenever he failed, prayed:


"I will never be able to do otherwise, if You leave me to myself.

the utter dependence on god that is expressed by that statement blows me away. When i say this to myself, i can literally feel my sholders relax. It's amazing. It is a reliable perspective changer for me. I am so grateful that it came into my world. Thank u God!

No huma you are safe. The eagle will support you and if you ask him and are brave enough he will let you ride on his back and fly you high in the sky to a place where you will see the earth and your life as it is. Then you will know how things are.

Love and Peace Rexroth

Journey 7 am &

Good morning!  I've checked email and calendar, and now I'm going to exercise, then have breakfast and a shower and check back.   I'm working from home today, I guess that's obvious lol.

UPDATE 9 am exercise done, and I'm going to eat my bagel while I make my todo list and grab that shower before my 10 am meeting.

UPDATE OK NOW I'm taking the shower.   This is my "on-call" week which  means I handle any problems or requests that come in to the office, and I had one of each this morning.   Which is fine, I like doing this stuff, I would be happy with doing these tasks full time. 

Needless to say, my planned schedule is out the window so after shower I'll revisit my plan for the afternoon.

UPDATE 3:45 I blew a fuse when I took a shower because I plugged in two space heaters lol, and THEN my internet wouldn't come back up!   Turned out it was a cable that had been frayed forever but I guess the little power fluke finally killed it.   I had another cable on hand yay me.   Then I had to rush to a meeting and after the meeting, with my schedule in shreds, I fell off the wagon for 45 minutes.   Back on track now, with my MUTs in my hot little hand.   I am going to do paperwork for two change requests that came in today.   Today was the last day that stuff could be requested for the weekend so of course I'm being inundated lol.   After that, I need to finish something up today for Project M.   Prolly call it a day after that.

Lucky CI

Didn't get much done yesterday evening - housemate is back and wanting lots of time with me, which is lovely, it's great to be missed :) so I need to schedule a bit less in the evenings.

My internet is going to be down till at least the 26th - called my ISP and they want rather more money than I've got so it's just going to have to wait till payday! I'll still be around via phone internet but won't be able to use chat or graphics at home, and it also takes ages to type my tasklist into my phone so I may or may not be keeping that offline and just checking in with a general 'here's how it's going'.

This morning, however, I'm at work making a tasklist on company time...includes what I've already done.
