three afternoon appointments

a business planning meeting, a grievance hearing and a dentist appointment (filling) – how did i manage to arrange such a lineup for a single afternoon?

i am back in the office after three days off, and although i did manage to catch up on my sleep over the weekend, a visit last night from megan and a friend of hers kinda threw me off – i just wanted to stay up and drink beers…. bad me. and so, here i am, feeling pretty okay and just wanting to get through the next few hours until the hearing (once that is out of the way i can breathe a bit easier). the next couple of weeks is incredibly busy with stuff as usual (union meetings, work, going to victoria, maybe a flying folk rehearsal, and of course – my housewarming). i am trying to schedule 2 days of working from home over the next couple of weeks in order that i might actually have some unbroken time to work out a large project schedule. i just can’t seem to get it done in the office with all the phone calls and emails and union demands – i’m hoping that if i can hide myself away periodically i can make some headway on the information-schematic to get started with.

i’m a bit overwhelmed with working at the moment – not necessarily in a bad place with it – but realizing the amount of work i need to get completed this summer while also having holidays and doing the union biz – and feeling a little tension grow inside me as a result. i think if i can just get a couple major things accomplished this will feel a whole lot better. an afternoon coffee might help as well.
