Low Battery Indicator

Jul 29, 2008 00:30

I'm looking at the week ahead and it's a swirling vortex of a crushing workload with pale wisps of insufficient sleep. It looks a little like this, but not as pretty:

This cloud of work will pass. Virtual hugs are valid currency in my world, so thanks.

Well, I quit smoking so I can't save any time there, but if I could beat off in my sleep instead of during the day I'd probably be able to finish work by lunchtime with all the time I'd save!

e-hug for Jeff! Last night was so frickin' cold I would have killed for a huggle to be honest =(

Thanks. Looks like tonight's no warmer, either. I'm so ready for some warmer weather.

Yes, it's not the rain for me that is the issue as the intense cold - it's affecting my life in a way that is not allowing me to sleep well, or do the things that I love to do.

Would an admin assistant be a smart thing, given that your time doing non-admin things is more valuable than the cost of an assistant?

I know that it can get much colder elsewhere, but Australia really doesn't seem to build with winter in mind as a general rule. What I wouldn't give for some energy-efficient central heating right now!

You're right about the admin assistant being a smart thing. There's an awful lot of paper-shuffling that needs to be done that takes me away from actually doing work. It's gone from seeming a ridiculous extravagance to a business imperative.

Yes, those vents that many houses have from the inner walls to the outer walls that allow all the warm air to leech out really astound me. I know that it's good in summer, but I want to paper them up in winter. Very few old houses in Australia seem to be insulated, as well.

I think that if you're really honestly not getting to real work because you're doing admin, then the admin assistant is the plan. Time to contact a recruitment agency.
