pro's last check-in - 1:15am (MONDAY!!)

I have a lot more dishes to wash when I cook at home instead of ordering in. Gotta start on them...

The 22 issues need much more documentation than I thought.
I am going to write up the reports ( urgent for monday).
And will leave the rest as rollover. I need more historical cases
for the issues anyway and there was not enough time to really search them in the library.
The paper method seems to be working quite well. I will use it for the next week and see how I go on.
See you all in one week time!
ROLLOVER:
- site1-2 and 3
pro's CI - 1:10pm
It's lovely to have a clean floor, clean rug (the rug was driving me crazy), and dust-free apartment.
I'm leaving for AA Intergroup after I post this...

Felicitation Pro to be volunteering. I am sure it must be changing your perspective on life. You must really like the phone!
Just back from the library. Got myself a book on web programming and also law enforcement: I took the thinnest books. Before I'd have been tempted to take the thickest, but not now! I don't want to add more things on my backlog.
Well now back to work, already 21 minutes procrastinated by browsing the forum. And tomorrow up at 06am for 07 am 'appointment'.
I will never get back these minutes, so let's not waste anymore time off doing the job.
Back to case 2.

I'm done with breakfast, and oddly I don't feel like sitting here drinking coffee and surfing the Web - I want to wash the dishes. :?
I feel a lot better after a high protein breakfast of eggs than I feel after eating toast for breakfast - much more energetic. Cooking at home is a good thing!
pro's first check-in - 9:30am
I did what I planned - I got dressed and made the bed before sitting down to breakfast. I also made myself a real breakfast this morning - eggs and bacon rather than just toast. I want to start cooking more.
I'm going to clean my apartment today. This afternoon I'm answering phones at AA Intergroup.

I am going to get a break and go to the library at the same time and deal with other misc. I started with session2 which is the hardest ( ugliest frog in this 22 issues). I will try to think during the walking there how to get this expression right.
Ta Da
- started to deal with issue2. Issue 2-15 and 16 are linked.
- wrote drafts for the meeting. Will need to go through the notes and type the whole.
- issue 2: going through the files and have found parts that need to be translated slightly differently.

translations
What kinds of Web sites do you translate? What language are they originally? What language are you translating them into?
It must be nice to speak other languages. I used to be able to speak French fairly well, but I've forgotten it.
canada
speak french as grew up in Quebec

Finish reading the files. It doesn't seem right, so I need to think about how to change things.

This morning I tied up quickly at home. Sorted a bit of my accounting
for my bookkeeper. I also attempting to tackle a big pile of papers - dealt with 10 sheets. Then hurried to the office.
But these are lower priority stuff, so I am trying to concentrate on what is important for now.
It is already sunday. I simply regret the 3 hours of procrastination yesterday. I love what I do , there was just too much to do and it accumulated and accumulated and accumulated ... and I just stop doing the important things. I was just dealing with the small, easy, unimportant stuff and looking for ways to add these. Each time I looked to what I had to do, it seemed sooo BIIIIIIG that I felt it was tooo much. So I hide the problem by tackling small unimportant tasks and adding even more unimportant tasks.
Yup, already spent 1 hour on the forum!!!
So back to this website1. start with reading first issue.
Paper method helps a lot.
