Things to do today

  • Start on my assignment
  • Find some urgent cleaning that I've been ignoring for months but definitely needs to be done now
  • Get back to my assignment
  • Extra long dog walk. It helps me think and is not at all an attempt to avoid writing my assignment. Really. Honest!
  • Get back to assignment. Reinforce with extra coffee
  • 73 additional toilet breaks caused by additional coffee
  • Make dinner. Plus desert. Sugar is good for the brain, right?
  • Get back to assignment. More coffee. Doesn't need to be submitted until midnight and I can stay up late.
  • Half arse finishing the assignment. Contemplate whether 5% late penalty will be offset sufficiently by benefits of another day to edit.
  • Submit assignment
  • Sleep

My day

My day today.

  • Try and wake up from trying to fix my internal flock
  • Survive the day at work covering for someone who went home sick
  • Visit to the chemist
  • Supermarket

Edit: +proof reading document and trying to figure out how hand it back without going out of my way.

You have an internal flock? Is that the sheep we are supposed to be counting to get to sleep? I don't have one of those, I thought people were talking about imaginary sheep. My insomnia is now explained.

[–] Duenan@aussie.zone 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Oops! Meant to be clock but I suppose flock is pretty accurate as well.

Got to get the herd under control.

On other note I've been making so many typos lately, it's been horrible.

[–] RustyRaven@aussie.zone 5 points 1 month ago

I love a good typo.

I work in a job where we are all working simultaneously on a shared computer system, which has no ability to edit once you hit enter. So we see lots of typos, which are an endless source of entertainment.
