Sep. 17th, 2014 04:53 pmIt appears to be fall again already. I shut the windows last week and haven't opened them since. This doesn't bode well for the rest of the winter. (Speaking of which, winter=furnace, furnace=conversion, conversion=don't forget to call and cancel November oil delivery. Preferably way the hell before November.)
I really can't explain why I'm almost completely unmotivated unless caffeinated lately. I can be productive while uncaffeinated, but I have to absolutely force myself to do anything work-related, and I procrastinate like mad for anything else. (Except grocery shopping, but that's part of the weekend routine these days.) Maybe it's the season changing. Whatever it is, I've got to figure it out because it's annoying me. Yes, there's a difference between what I need to do and what needs doing, but that isn't an excuse to put off the things that need doing for a couple of weeks. I put off doing laundry for so long I nearly had to go buy more underwear. I should probably do that anyway, just so I absolutely have enough for two weeks.
OK, canceled the November oil delivery, so I can stop remembering that I haven't done that yet. (Yes, I know that gas explodes; and no, I don't want to stay with oil, and even if I did, it wouldn't be up to me anyway. All I want is for you all not to pump oil into a basement that won't have an oil tank in it in November.) Also got two of the three people who assisted with the head and neck anatomy lab session last year to agree to do it again this year, and expect the third to say he'll do it too. If this course won't fit into the redesigned curriculum, I won't be terribly sorry. The schedule is ridiculously complicated and the director is somewhat entitled and never here, so she gets to tell me to do things I wouldn't usually have to do. At least I get paid to do it, and the leftover curriculum committee meeting lunch included an egg salad sandwich (my favorite!) so it's a good day anyway.
