Work it Out Wednesday

This might have been one of my longest days on record. Being up at 4am working on the NLP:RD can really wear a Momma out. I have gotten some great feedback from Ashley on the process.

First of all, it was totally wrong to start out on the NLP:RD with such fervor. I was mentally exhausted by noon.

Secondly, it was wrong of me to assume that I could do this without a label maker. I don't know if I would have used the label maker today- but knowing it was there would have made a big impact.

What did I get done on Work it Out Wednesday? A LOT. A lot more than I normally do in 3 days at work, much less 4 hours. I like to spread things out and procrastinate. It makes me feel good to put something off until the last minute and then get it done at crunch time.

• Completed Monthly Report and emailed it to my boss.
• Mailed very important approved contract to the vendor. This right here is big. BIG. I would have gotten this done without WIOW, but being that I was very excited to make progress- it happened this morning rather than this afternoon.
• Made Phone Calls (hate, hate, hate making phone calls)
  Called Bunco friend to ask if we could have bunco at our work. The answer was no, because "they" don't allow non-work related activities to go on in the break room after hours. I don't get it. I work for an organization that handles gaming (gambling). Bunco is a game (and it's gambling). What is the problem?
  Called Little Lil Momma's pediatrician to ask for a refill of her Singular. Had to explain the whole story about her eating the whole bottle of pills. That was fun.
  Called the vet to make Oliver's Big Appointment.
  Called Behavioral Health Clinic and made an appointment for some counceling for myself. We can go into why later, I'm just proud I did it. My appointment is tomorrow and I will report back.
• Paid bills online
• Emailed HR Lady about my position that closed today. How important am I to get an assistant? She read my email but she didn't respond. I hope I don't have to call. Can't we all just email?

By the time I got all of this done I was drained. I went for some RESALE THERAPY and found my formal dress for our cruise. It is newsed, but I totally love it and it looks great on me. After this I surfed the net for awhile, took a few phone calls (I don't mind answering the phone, I just don't like making phone calls), and emailed some pictures.

I don't like working harder at work than I do at home. Home is where the real work is done. Work should be laid back and relaxing (it usually is). I think I will blame it on WIOW and the fact that I won't be in the office at all on Friday so I had to scrunch a whole bunch of stuff into a 3 day week.

I have taken 2 Ambien this evening, so hopefully there will be a full night of sleep. Or at least until 5am.
