Yeah, I know it’s not Friday, it’s Tuesday; but, when you have a holiday Wednesday, then Tuesday is Friday and that’s all there is to it.
And for that, I am sooooooo glad.
I have severe short-timer syndrome at the Day Jobbe, and they know it. Boss Lady gave me a fairly impossible project to do last Friday–but it’s very important, and it’s squarely within my realm of responsibility. But it’s impossible! Nevertheless, I set to it on Monday, and got as far as I could, before veering off into simpler tasks and Spider Solitaire filing and organizing.
Today, I had other stuff that commanded my attention and focus, and I spent no time on Impossible Task. But I told myself I’d get right back on it on Thursday, that I’d make a real run at it, I’d do my very best, especially considering I’m still going to do freelance work for these kind and generous people….
And as I was leaving at the end of the day, I walked by Boss Lady’s office, as I always do, and she was working on Impossible Task.
Yeah, she knows.
I don’t know if she’s going to be able to figure it out any better than I could, but…well, she doesn’t have short-timer syndrome. So there you go.

And there’s a holiday tomorrow! My goals for the day are:
-Finish Golden Spider Beetles draft
-Accomplish as many to-do list items as possible
-Indoctrinate Helper Elves into orchid care
-Lie around and read and relax
That seems like plenty, don’t you think?
