lost & found
For any one who noticed, or for that matter cares, apologies for my silence this last week. I was so busy and tired that I almost didn't notice that I hadn't written here even though I love doing it all the time and look forward to it. Generally I'm a pretty high energy person who does a fair amount of stuff in a day. I almost always work longer than the usual 7.5 hours each day, getting in half an hour early and leaving an hour or two after I can, and then spending a few hours of personal time at home in my garden or knitting or something. With a <2 hour commute, it's long days but worth it because I feel productive and I get things started and finished by being in the office outside of the usual times, and being sure to have a little bit of personal time too. This week, though, there were actually more things to do at work, and more levels of details for most of them, than I could actually get done, efficiently or quickly, or at all well, or at all within reasonable periods of time. I'd start one thing and be called to do something else and be summoned to a meeting I had to attend then get back to my desk and find three or four things that had to be done right away with notes like "call as soon as you can!" and then there'd be an email or phone call with yet another new project that I wanted to do and/or had to do and then it would start all over again. I think it's part of the "be careful what you wish for" issue because I always say I want to be really really busy and be in high demand. Turns out there is a limit to everything. Shocking, isn't it?!
