It's almost about that time...

...where I realize how much stuff I have to do and get stressed.

I won’t let it happen though.  My stupid computer has now decided to only work when it’s plugged in, and when I try to put it in standby or unplug it, it restarts.  It’s not a good look for me, especially when I type up my 'to do lists' and keep emails open that require my attention.

This new habit of my computer started this weekend, so I lost a bunch of important info. But it’s all good.  I'm not sure why I haven’t freaked, but I kind of like that.

I’m currently working at the same client as last year, but in a new role, a completely new role.  There’s a lot of work that needs to get done on a short timeline, and I’m expected to work 50+ hours. Yea, I’m still not spazzing.  I’m trying to apply for a promotion and I have a bunch of paperwork to do for that, and yea, I haven't really started. Like I have, I've started outlining my thoughts, but I haven’t actually started capturing them. Yup, I’m not going crazy yet. 

I have now gone back to the traditional, pad and pen-where I write down what I have to do. 

The list keeps on getting pretty long, and I have various pages of things that need to be done immediately, things that I need to do while I’m in NYC and things that I have to do for work...

I wish I were home again for at least another 2-3 weeks.  Seems like I need a lot more time than I think to clear all of my lists.

Here's the time where I can say I’m thankful that I’m single and have no obligations to anyone, like needy people.  I have so much to think about, so much on my plate that I wouldn’t be able to deal w/ the thought of having to care for someone else, like care in the sense of having to call and explain my whole day, all my issues, concerns and emotional outbursts, and vice versa for them.  I can’t afford to invest all that time on anyone else right now.  Sounds mean, right...that’s not what I mean.  I just mean it’s nice that I don’t have to check in, and chat on the phone, and use up the time that I can use to focus on my work.  I eventually want to have someone to bug though. That’s in the works, but that’s a whole other story.

I’m going skiing this weekend and that’s another thing that’s requiring extra work. I don’t have ski pants, or wool socks, or those ugly ass huge goggles people wear so I have to go shopping on Friday.  I also need mittens.  My gray ones with rainbow colored hearts won’t make the cut I think.  I’m going on Sunday, and will have to go to work the next day so I’m really hoping it’s a safe trip and that I don’t end up breaking or pulling anything because I can’t afford to miss any days from work. 

I also have a list of things that id like to write about, so expect some blogs sometime next week, unless I have time to do it this week.

Oh and check this out - HP's CTO gave me a shout out - holler!
