findingaway

This is my check-in for Thursday 12/11/10. It's 10.30 am and I have fallen in a bit of a hole since last night. Got very discouraged about my work. I can really relate to myy's comment about 'Getting Thicker Skin' - that's definitely part of what happens to me - one phone call yesterday set me on a downward trend.

Also still feel strange that I can't check in on the right date unless (usually) I start the thread. And I write the date backwards to most people (date first, not month)!

I hope this is not turning into a complaint. I can see I need to overhaul my long-term goals, but don't know how to schedule time for that or even how to use that time well.

Today I don't have a plan, but I am going to take a (very late) morning shower and write one when I get back. 

Ok - it's late - 12.30 pm - but at least I have a plan now.

• put away stuff for B project until Monday
• go back to E project and see what sections are still not done
• check project spreadsheet
• lunch
• prioritise sections
• write sections (smiley for each 30 mins)

Evening

• Meditation group 5 pm
• Piano
• Exercises (or do earlier)
• call T
• call M
• Dishes
• time with M

Great starter.Show up (done) Ask HP to direct my thininking and free me of me.Thanks for being here.

Good morning!  Off to a pretty good start, I've been to the gym and had two conference calls already.   I took a breakfast break and now I'm  making todo list for the rest of the day.   I'll work in the chatbox since I'm working from home today.

Lots of work today! a bit of a late start but that's all right.

I have some tasks from the past few days, which I am close to done with but still need to finish up:
*Finish power calcs (will do this soon)
*order FISH probes (emailed with questions about this order, waiting for them to get back to me)
*go through PCR results and figure out what to do next

Then some small tasks that I've been putting off:
*bug MK, MC  (actually, think it makes sense to hold off talking to MC for a few days)

*set up doc

*check on expts, change VAD
*get protocol
*w

Then some large tasks:
Highest priority: Stage 1 (have made some decent progress on this, but can't finish until tomorrow b/c I need help from TE)
Lower priority: look at introns/exons, add to D/T's doc

And non-work stuff:
return lib books/order new lib books (will do this soon)
1 hr thinking about career plans
swing dancing
maybe career workshop
winter biking clothes

OK, I'll start by checking on expts, changing VAD, w., going through PCR results. Then I'll stage 1.

Thanks for starting the tread seattleguy and for inspiring quotes.

I've got a fever and saw doctor yesterday who took samples and I wait for results. At the moment I feel like I have flu.

Done:
Prayer and reflection
Checked emails and posts

Todo:
Rest and get better
Put clothes away
Wash up and put rubbish out
Write and post letter to hospital
Read hospital file and make notes for meeting
Generally tidy up papers on two tables
Phone friend this evening to let her know how I am
