What did you accomplish today? - Page 2

blush · 01-29-2011, 09:44 PM

Welllll,
We didn't plan this, but we sanded and stained a dresser for Fuz. Then brasso'ed the hardware. Then bought 2 desks(and a bucket of other useless things) at Ikea. Then put one of them together. After we cleaned the room they go in.

Oh, and made pork chops for dinner.

Fuck, I'm tired.

You got a grip about 1/2 thru the ice under the car.

Got a Tremendous amount of work done on a long-standing, incomplete project at work. It's been being worked on for nearly two years. I inherited it in December and will have it finished by the end of March!

moxie · 02-02-2011, 06:35 PM

Broke two toes because I am a klutz and stubbed my toes right after I got out of bed (ouch!)

Led a meeting for like 15 minutes until boss got there.

Wasn't a very effective leader as all we did was chat until she got there.

Talked on the phone for several hours as I don't want to give the kids I see the germs back to them that they gave to me in the first place.

Did a ton of paperwork.

Sent numerous emails.

Tried not to breathe on anyone.

Sanitized my work phone and my desk.

Tried not to touch door handles so other people don't get my germs.

Had my daily sassy commentary with the medical records staff.

Came home and ate soup.

Daddy and I made homemade sausages that are now drying in the fridge (yay!)

Went with Her and step-son to order wrist corsages and bouteniers (how do you spell that?) for "That Awesome 80's Prom" on Saturday (whee!)

Did my chores

Wrote my 750 words (www.750words.com)

Kenna · 03-02-2011, 07:01 PM

I LOVE my new job!!

I consider today a very successful day!! (despite my raging headache)

This job really makes me feel like I "make a difference"!
I was able to make 3 very good Outreach Efforts to the Department of Social Services Child Care Program (who deal with foster children and parents returning to work, transitioning off of Welfare) and to the WIC Program at the Health Department. They welcomed me as a new member of their Team, after I found out that they previously had no clue of the services "we" offer or the fact they could refer parents and children to me for Health Care Coordination Services. When I walked away, it felt really good knowing how much I can offer these Programs and the over-loaded, over-worked caseworkers. Today, I felt like my struggle and stress in my previous job suddenly was ALL WORTH IT and I finally found a job where I can make a difference!!

While talking about Autism and Developmental Screenings provided by our program, the supervisor introduced me to a co-worker. This young mother has a 2 year old who may or may not be on the Autism Spectrum. I was able to set her up with reliable and valuable resources, educated her a bit about "developmental surveillance" -vs- "developmental/autism screening" and "calmed her nerves" by reassuring her that she "can take control" of the situation, educate herself and be prepared to ask the right questions when her son is screened by a professional.

Just the look of relief on her face and watching a "weight lift" from her shoulders gave me a huge sense of accomplishment. She had been so overwhelmed and scared.

You can accomplish much in this world by making a difference for ONE person. I do believe in "Pay It Forward". Your efforts will blossom to touch many people and their lives.

chefhottie25 · 03-20-2011, 10:35 PM

i moved last week...and finally did a lot of unpacking this evening. no more going through boxes to find anything. yay!

Awake at 9am. Texted boss about an issue at work. Laid back down but didn't sleep for another half an hour or so. Finally drug myself up and grabbed some grub. Since then, Ebon and I have watched Open Season II, I've forced him to hammer in a few nails on a small bookcase and also helped me move said bookcase around until I was fairly happy with its location. I have moved some light furniture around, dusted most of the living room, cleaned up our 'game area', gathered up the recycling, I'm on the third load of laundry now, I've spot vacuumed, and now I'm taking a break.

Later, I shall go through about 10 tubs/boxes of clothes and miscellaneous to either find homes for the stuff or put it in the donate bag I started today.

Since my shoulders ache from yesterday's work, I'm not sure if there's going to be anything more than that done today, although there is plenty more that needs to be done around here.

Sunday, Part Two (cuz I'm not fancy like Jo):

I have linens in the linen closet now, versus in a tub in the storage room! I also have a suitcase and a tub full of winter clothes that have been sorted and stuffed waaaay back in the closet. I ate the delish dinner that Ebon and I concocted together but he cooked. I went through ALL of my jeans, camisoles, underthings, tanks, shorts, pajamas, and exercise bottoms and sorted them into keep or donate and then found a home for the keepers. Ebon can testify, this was a BIG deal. Our bed was fully covered and stacked yay high with each type of clothing.

<--clotheshorse

I pretty much pulled everything (boxes and tubs) out of the storage room that wasn't empty and now all of the Christmas stuff is together and I have a couple of empty tubs to put the stuff that I will sort out today in, since the linens and whatnot they held now have an appropriate home. A big ole bag of garbage and another of recycling was taken out. I popped online right before bed too.

Now, for today:

I pulled the last load of laundry out of the dryer and fluffed and folded it. I've eaten four poptarts and drunk half a glass of skim milk. I've played on here for a while and put away a load of dishes in the dishwasher (it was run before bed). That's pretty good, I think, since it took me the better part of an hour to get myself out of bed once Ebon's alarm went off. Too much work and not enough sleep do not make for a happy Gemme.

Later today, I will finish the sorting of the clothes and rehang what's been pulled out for the sorting and donating process as well as going through the paperwork I've accumulated for the past few months and shred it. I think Ebon and I will also pop in HEB for a short list of stuff. The bathroom still needs to be scrubbed good and the floors swept, mopped and vacuumed.

I'm so glad to have Wednesday and Thursday off, since THIS weekend hasn't been a weekend at all. It's been quite the opposite of what weekends are supposed to be about.

If you have linens in the linen closet, then you're fancy

My Saturday was awesome and weekend-y, but Sunday pretty much sucked. Productive, but painful and icky and generally not one I would want a repeat of.

Today...
I have managed to get out of bed, get dressed, make breakfast for the kiddo, pack lunches for kiddo and Scoote, take kiddo to school....

...and, more importantly, I have managed to not go off at my boss (even though she's making my life much more difficult at a time when I really can't deal)...and not to shut down my work computer, say screw it, and go back to bed.

Clearly, I don't function well on stress and no sleep.
