  • Short break (4 hours into my day)

    08 Mar 2009 » 1 min read about Work & Career

    I took at short break at 11 am after wrapping up the Day 2 slide deck (209 slides!) finally!  I headed over to the Apple store because after nearly 2 years, I’ve been having some problems with my iPhone (which I never bought Apple Care for).  Turns out the problems were caused by a small crack in glass…

  • Start of a long workday (40 minutes into my day)

    Up at 7:50 AM even though my clock said 6:50 AM (I forgot to move it forward last night).  Slept pretty well in preparation for what I expect will be a very long work day today (even though it’s Sunday).  I figure I’ll post updates throughout the day and night.  Getting back to the slide desks now, which are…

    After 10 consecutive days of cooking dinner, I didn’t cook tonight.  I didn’t even eat tonight.  I screwed up.  I had a teriyaki stir fry on the menu, which requires chicken, and we don’t have anymore chicken!  Kelly got away with leftovers, but I just skipped dinner.  I was busy working on a CSS style sheet for a new…

    We slept in late this morning.  Actually, we got up for a while and then went back to bed.  I’d been working hard all week and I had to work more today but I needed some rest.  We finally got up and showered sometime around 11 AM. Around noon I started to work.  Kelly headed off…

    My 9 hour workday seemed to pass by in 15 minutes or so.  I continued my work on the PowerPoint slide deck for the training session I’m leading in mid-March.  I started as soon as I got into the office, worked on it nonstop until lunchtime.  I paused at lunch to eat, read more of Steal Across…

    I’m sequestering myself in the office this week in order to complete some training material for a 3-day train-the-trainer session I’ll be leading in mid-March.  I started the work morning off by putting together my annual self-appraisal.  With the exception of one meeting, I spent the rest of the day working on the training stuff, and…

  • Back to work

    Today was one of those days where I couldn’t focus as much asI’d have liked to.  The work day passed slowly and despite having no meetings, I didn’t make as much progress as I hoped. This evening, I finished reading Adrift, which was just a remarkable survival story.  It’s incredible what Callahan went through in his 76 days in…

  • Early night

    I’m finally crashing and so there’s a chance at a decent night’s sleep tonight.  Work was busy all day long.  I even worked through lunch, but I completed an important milestone on my project and that felt good.  At 4 PM, there was a memorial service for Susan held in the office and lots of people came…

    Well, I made it through the day yesterday without feeling overly tired.  I was up at 4 AM and we headed off to bed at 9 PM (after watching Tivo’d episodes of Big Love and Battlestar Galactica).  I didn’t sleep great last night, but my body is still adjusting to the new schedule.  Busy day in the office.  I was…
