Morning lovlies! I just looked at my to-do list today and it feels kinda impossible so I thought I would hop on here and untangle some thoughts before I go.

It is only Thursday, which means I have another day of this before I am out with friends. I can do one more day, right? What a change, 3 months ago, my job was a huge source of enjoyment for me. Sometimes I would get so into my code that my boss would have to knock on my door and let me know I had to go home for the kids now . (That is kinda normal in IT, not just me).

Now I am actually watching the clock when it gets close to Friday. Thursdays are LONG. But today wont be long. I have a ton, I do mean ton of things to get done. Plus, since my birthday was over the break, my co-workers are taking me out for a belated long lunch at a nice Mexican restaurant, and I also scheduled my IC appointment in for today immediately after lunch.

I have a big meeting this afternoon that I am not prepared for, and I wont have time to prepare after lunch.

I have at the minimum, 4 hours of school studying to do for my exam that is in the next week.

I have 3 chapters from one manuscript and 6 from another for the publisher I would like to finish before the weekend.

Oh, and since they are paying me, I should do some actual work while I am at work today.

I just found out one of my servers are down... Great... I can fix that while still doing my other things, it is just annoying for me and horrid for the poor users.

One distracting that is nagging at me is I have a feeling something is coming. Something good and big and life changing is coming my way. I imagine it will be a new guy, but I just have this feeling like I should be preparing in some way.

See... easily distracted! Better make a list to stricktly follow:


1. Prepare for meeting AND get the down server back up.

2. Peek at one or 2 threads here to make sure peeps are OK.

3. Work on help desk tickets for database. 53 tickets are waiting, do this for an hour.

4. Peek at one or 2 threads here to make sure peeps are ok.

5. 2 hours of school work while finishing tickets.

6. Peek at one or 2 threads here to make sure peeps are ok.

7. Lunch

8. IC

9. 1 hour of school work while finishing to prepare for meeting

10 meeting

11. Peek at one or 2 threads here to make sure peeps are ok.

12. 4 chapters for publisher

13. Peek at one or 2 threads here to make sure peeps are ok.

14. School work and project for the alumni office to finish the day.

OKAY! Now I feel better. I can do this no problem! I love this board sometimes.
