The route you take depends a good deal upon where you want to go.
—Lewis Carroll
Day after day, the father drove to work along the same dreary highway to the same dreary job. Sometimes his daughter went to his office with him. On one of these occasions she noticed a winding road running parallel to the highway. "Oh, Daddy, let's take that road today," she suggested. After some grumbling and mumbling, the father agreed and turned off to take the side road.
To their delight, the road was lined with full trees and a rainbow of flowers. They came upon a quaint little village in which there was an office with a sign in the window, which said, "Clerk Wanted. Inquire Within." The job seemed perfect and the man accepted it with excitement he hadn't felt in many years.
Sometimes we have to risk taking a different path in order to arrive at a different place. How else can we change things in our lives that need to be changed? And how easy to do it, once we're willing to risk something out of the ordinary.
What can I do that's out of the ordinary today?

This is my first day on PA. I'm shocked at how fast I can get things done when I set a specific goal. Thank you PA just for being here!
Down to 50 or so e-mails. I'm going to have lunch and work on them until 2:00. Another update then.
Hope everyone is checking things off.
Kodos--2:00 update
I'm ending a little early because my computer battery is almost finished, but I am so grateful for this site. I am down to only 15 e-mails and I feel like I have the momentum to look at the mountain of paperwork on my dining room table now.
Good luck to everyone and thanks for your quiet support!
Kodos--3:50
Haven't done much in two hours time. BUT the day is still with us, and I'm going to write until 5:15 with only a small break in the middle.
Kodos--5:20 update
I really limped through that writing with many distractions. But I'm going to push the reset button and follow my evening schedule from here on out.
Good night and good luck!

Yesterday was reasonably productive.
Today I have the following list of small tasks I'd like to get through
1)Work on W18 project. Specifically, this means:"
1a)Assess slides that I stained yesterday (working on this now)
1b)Identify slides for looking at normal 1st wave timing (working on thsi now)
1c)PAS stain necessary slides
2)Work on SMF project, by updating the probe design wiki
3)Work on R8 project, by figuring out genotyping protocol and ordering primers
4a)Going through all refs I have so far, updating annot. bib (will do this soon)
4b)Adding all references so far to endnote
4c)Microbursting intro figures
5)Run gel for genotyping (almost done with this)
6)Go dancing
7)Do TTC task
This is lot (11 things) and I think it may not be realistic to get through all of it. So I'll say:
bottomline...get through 5 things from this list
goal...get through 8 things from this list
stretch goal...get through 11 things from this list

Thanks MA for starter.
I feel like I am holding onto resentment of myself. Gratitude is always good for change of attitude. Redirect my thoughts/feelings- they are not who I am. I want to start breathing by living in the solution.

Thanks movingalong, and pro for keeping this site going.
I cannot believe how much I have to do now to fix my life. I basically must do EVERYTHING all at the same time thanks to months of procrastination with the job search. Need to find a real job, possibly a new place to move to, movers, storage, still attempt to make money with my current job to pay for all this, deal with a pending lawsuit to evict ... honestly, I've really set a record for myself like never before.
But the energies turned around yesterday when I started to take action, mostly thanks to this new agency I'm interviewing with today. So happy they called me and praying something comes through them immediately for work.
All I can do now is turn this over to God -- he can fix this mess. All I can do is break it down and take each step one at a time. I can only do so much!
Today:
"If you feel you're about to drown, remember Tool 1 and Break .. It .. Down"
Good luck with the interview
Good luck with the interview Lavida!
re: Good luck with the interview
Thanks Thesis! It's with an agency, so not really high pressure so it should be tolerable enough :)
