Tuesdays and Thursdays I hang out with Indy and try not to have to work and it ROCKS. So yesterday I pimped out my back yard with forth of July paraphernalia, rearranged for summer fun (space for the pool, arts and crafts area for finger paint, moved grill for lots of access to that, etc.), weeded and cut the yard, and cleaned generally. I was also able to put a layer of bleach on every surface in the bathroom. Oh, yeah, and the kid and I had lots of fun too. We watched a storm on our porch for a long time, grocery shopped, played race cars a lot, went for a swing.
But now, it's Friday, and that means I have to make serious headway on my presentation I'm doing next Thursday. I have to get at least 70% done today because I've got an afternoon meeting on Monday, Wednesday is getting booked up, plus the flight out is Wednesday afternoon. And Tuesday I'd like to spend with Indy, since I'll be gone for 2 1/2 days. Hmmm. Maybe I need a sitter Tuesday. Maybe I can also do a lot of the presentation this weekend.
I am SO spoiled. I remember thinking while I was in school that I would never bitch about work because:
a) It's 9-5 -- not all that demanding
b) It doesn't require any serious brain power
c) I could always do a little work on weekends or nights (as you do constantly in college)
d) I will be getting PAID
Well, all of the above is still true, but I guard my nights and weekends like a pit bull. And my brain is so mushy now that this presentation does feel like I have to break out my brain.
As for the 9-5 and payment, I am so incredibly lucky on these fronts, I try and remember to be grateful every damn day. Which means stopping bitching about my presentation in this blog. :)
