Good morning, good morning
Dec. 22nd, 2010 11:34 amLast day of volunteer work before Christmas. Tomorrow is shopping, Friday is Christmas Eve support group, and Saturday is, well. The Day.
I am stressed about all the stuff that needs to get done before the end of the year, and frustrated to be at work where I can't work on any of it. Especially since right now, there's nothing for me to do here.
So here I am on the internet, making a DW/LJ post and feeling lonesome once again.
I feel like between Christmas and the New Year, I want to do a year review and make some plans for 2011. But I'm not sure what I want out of the review exactly. Before I figure out how to review my year, I guess I need to figure out what information I want out of it.
I already have some keywords I'm working on, which is good. A blogger friend of mine had an interesting framework which I might see if I can adapt to suit me.
I would like to get out of here on time today. Pretty interesting to notice that, even not being paid, I am not ruthless about leaving times. Partly because I feel guitly about showing up a little bit late most days (mornings, they are hard; I'm trying to figure out what's happening there). Partly because I don't want to leave my boss in the lurch. Partly, I think, 'cause I have trouble with detachment and boundaries. This tends to end up with me staying until 2.30 or even 3.30 when my official leaving time is 1.30.
I'd like to be more careful about keeping the commitment to myself to only do a certain amount of time at this job, because overstaying is really not doing my energy or enthusiasm levels any favours.
(All of this is useful information.)
Today is a tired day. I will do lots of sleeping this afternoon.
I think that's all for now.
