No time for real work
Work was super busy today. I’ve been out of the office March 23 for a workshop; March 24, 25 and 26 for a different workshop; March 31 and April 1 to make up for the first series of workshops; and April 4 and 5 for scavenger hunts with high school students — technically I was at work but completely out of my office. Needless to say, I have a significant amount of catch up work to do so of course I had no time to get anything done.
My schedule:
9 a.m. – arrive at work without tea because our office administrator is sick and i have to be exactly on time to let our front desk person in
9:15 a.m. – director arrives, chat
9:45 a.m. – out of the office in search of tea and the daily newspaper
10 a.m. – arrive at desk
10:10 a.m. – genealogy appointment (slightly unannounced)
noon – chamber of commerce meeting, didn’t serve me lunch
1 p.m. – let dog out, get lunch at subway
1:15 p.m. – reporter arrives for tv interview
1:18 p.m. – local guy shows up with awesome new story with some civil war history (unanounced)
1:20 p.m. – tv interview
1:25 p.m. – check on the scanning of the newspaper
1:30 p.m. – genealogy appointment returns from his lunch
3 p.m. – genealogy appoint leaves after awesome conversation
3:10 p.m. – guy arrives looking for cemetery plats (barely announced)
3:30 p.m. – finish responding to first email I opened today
Good thing I wore heels because I thought I’d only be standing during a tv interview and would spend the rest of the day comfortably behind my desk. I can’t really complain though because I really did have some fun and good conversations. It’s nice to feel busy even if it’s just on unexpected little projects.
