Doing it at the right time today.
The mobile broadband needed a bit more attention yesterday afternoon (software needed to be uninstalled and reinstalled), but was working ok by the end of the day. It wasn't a good distraction, though.
On the other hand, I managed to get through some work that had been stressing me (like anything I don't do when it's due...). Today will be a challenge - I have to close out the last two I've done, and finish the FS audit that has been on my desk for over two weeks.
When I start doing something complex I need time to do it at my own pace - and I have to do it a couple of times before I am able to see the shape and feel what I'm doing. There just hasn't been the space to do it that way - on the other hand, we seem to have had a drop off (at long, long last) in phone calls, and with the shift in hours, maybe I'm finally there!
Despite getting home late, I think the shifted hours may work for me. My main concern is that it means that Linda will spend longer at her sisters drinking and smoking every day, and that the dogs are alone in that time. Then again, regardless of my start/finish times, they are alone while I'm at work anyway... Same number of hours!
Tomorrow is an annual leave day so that I can get everything finalised for Saturday's show. It will be a very busy day, but much, much better than trying to fit it in around working days. I've also taken Monday off as a recovery day ... I'm going to Isola on Monday - recovery indeed!
Then, after the show, it's time to deal with Christmas!
Phillip and Rosie will be back from St Leonard's today - and we should find out whether they've broken up again, or are still together, and going to Tasmania for the music festival. Who knows? If I'm lucky, they will still be together, but not living together, and they will both head off after Christmas, coming back in time to move into Halls for the academic year... Too much to hope?
Time to get on with the day!
