Okay, this is a great idea, but I will not be starting it at 11:19 on a weekday morning! I wonder what time the reminders will come and whether that can be adjusted. Ah well, I hope this works, because I do want to write more! Maybe leave this open to do more later, in between chunks of work? Will try...
Hmm. Had written a bunch after this yesterday but apparently didn't save it.
All righty then. Lots churning around, lets see if I can better organize it by putting it down here. Art called in sick this morning. Art has been out a lot since he arrived in June. Ailments of one type of another. Grandmom's death that took him away for partial days and then for bereavement days. Discussions have been had, memo's promised but not delivered. And now, along with the crossroads I had alluded to with Art, I face one myself. Is it here, or down the road some more? He is needed to finish up the Long Island App. He is needed because of the relationship he has established with Dan, Candace. If he is replaced I will need to replace all of that. If he is not than he will remain a management challenge unplanned for unless I add a 10 or 20 percent cushion for things like management of Art and other things that will come out of left field. How do you do that without carving the time out in the daily calendar!?
Bedroom remains in shambles, nightly recharges not what they might be. The pullout sofa and I have discovered the position that works best for me, but it remains a pullout sofa. My wife and I sleep together for parts of some nights, last night was apart as she fell asleep in Dora's bed while putting her to bed, then remained for the night. This weekend will have the bedroom back up and operational? Regrets: letting Rosa use the spackling tape so liberally without carving out cracks beforehand. Not insisting on another coat on the windows before the paint was scraped from the panes. It seems like the only approach now is to get us to a point where we are sleeping in the bed and then we approach the small things that still need doing individually, one at a time. A far longer process, but one that brings the peace of sleeping in your own bed.
Absolutely must do's today at work: Art Memo; Long Island Training document; Long Island application. Not so much, really. Time to get going...
