  • Work, work, work

    So I feel much better now.  I have been working for four ish hours and have done loads.  Got my email down and have done two documents that need doing and should have been done on Friday.  Both have now gone off to my manger for review!  On the one hand I feel much better and will sleep better for having done this.  On the other I will not get paid so it is not fair really, but could not go on worrying about it all. 

    Still trying to think why I never get my work done when I am at work.  I do only work part time but do maybe have a slightly reduced workload but not by much.  I also think that we have constantly changing requirements.  I work in a very fluid environment and we have to pull things together very quickly at times and react to things as they are happening.  As the leader of the team, I am often involved in organising things so get pulled all over the place, I also need to be very organised for the days I am not there.  Not sure I can do much about that.  The other thing is that I babysit the team, help them get organised, or organise things for them, this takes my time lots.  I can do something about this, I can ensure they know what I want them to do and when it needs to be done etc and stop doing this.  Okay we run the risk of failure because something does not get done which might make the team look bad, but I am sure it would only happen once and next time they would make sure it did not happen rather than me.  I feel this should be my main goal for the next few weeks and see if it helps.  I hope it does or I need to invent more hours in the day! 

    Off to bed for a nice sleep now. 

  • Wii Fit

    The husband is on the Wii fit doing step, bless.  He really is having a go at getting fit and trying to drop a few pounds.  I had been on it for an hour today so we both are really trying.  We have both set a certain amount of weight we want to have lost by so many days and so far the Wii thing says we are on track.

    I did get out in the garden for a bit.  We got the final two new trellises up but there should have been another one so I have had to get in touch with the company that I got them from.  Wait to hear if they believe me that I ordered six and only got five.  The husband unpacked them for me and did not know how many I had ordered so we have only just realised.

    I also pottered around my green house putting in more seeds and thinking of all the things I still need to do both in the house and garden, but mainly in the garden.  I have a daffodil that is about to come into flower which will be my first this year and also my crocus are now in flower.  They seem a bit late but it has been very cold.

    We have had snow off and on all day but it has all gone, it was very wet snow.

    I think I am going to do some work for a few hours now.  I have been thinking about the things I have not done and should have, and just the amount of email I had all weekend, so think if I can get some of it done that will be good.  Wish I did not worry about it so much but I just seem to be getting more and more to do.  Am having a good think why this is and also what I can do about it.

    Right off to work then.. how sad is that…

  • Let it snow.

    We have a bit of snow down but big snowflakes coming down! They are saying it will snow all day. No gardening for me then.
