I feel like I should put in for PTO on Saturdays.
Every weekend has been a working one lately.
And I know it’s going on my review that I blew a deadline to launch a new newsletter even though I was working on other shit.
It went on my review last year that some flaw in programming exposed our testing site.
I am not programming.
I am done with the working 70-80 hours a week. Honestly I’m not even a fan of the 40-50ish unless they are on my terms. Which is, whenever inspiration strikes, along with being available six days a week.
The amount of work I have to achieve today (Sunday) is daunting. I want to be outside. I don’t want to be in an uncomfortable chair in a house that needs cleaned.
Also I still never drafted that damn newsletter that’s a month overdue.
What I did do was set up a weekly call with one of DTOM’s people. I like the person; just been avoiding because of the whole having to run things up that flagpole.
But I realize I can give them the knowledge they lack because Miss Social Butterfly over here is always out collecting, but not really sharing, it.
And I’d like to forfeit my right to grumble about stuff that isn’t in my control.
So, I will put it in my control in this way.
Anyway, I am still dreading spending my whole day on a project I didn’t want, but that I could do in my sleep if I could just get into the right mind frame.
That’s what happens every launch. I kick and moan and whine and procrastinate.
But I also research and think and daydream on it.
And the final product usually turns out great.
Here’s hoping that tradition holds true. Since the next-biggest boss is writing my review right now.
Oh shit that means I have reviews to write, too — on top of all the other stuff.
Great.
