What did you accomplish today?

Ginger · 10-01-2012, 06:25 PM

Edited poems on my laptop, all the way in to work on the train
Edited four articles for a journal at work; recycled them down from 700 or 1200 words or whatever to a mere 400, 150, even 75, which is really just a blurb. Every time I do that I'm reminded how much bullshit there is in the world, that could go away and no one would miss it.
Talked to my friend, a dean, for about half an hour. We both obsess over the Container Store and home interiors. Plus he wanted me to get a reporter off his back.
Got some quotes from the director of another program, to make the reporter happy.
Made everyone happy; the dean, the director, the reporter. Basked in my small glory for a few minutes till our office assistant left for lunch and snapped at me to watch the phones, knocking me off my high horse.
Wrote bios for two poets I'm introducing at a reading in a couple weeks.
Haggled with the moving company over the price for my move.
Called the utility companies, got things lined up for my new apartment.
Went to Bed, Bath and Be-Bad on my lunch and bought a shower curtain and towels!!! Used a gift certificate that an sassy little angel bestowed on me last week.
Talked to my sister. Our dad is not well. I'll see him this weekend at my nephew's wedding. She wanted to give me the head's up.
Slept all the way home on the train.
Ate a dinner I didn't cook, then did the dinner dishes.
I could really use a silly distraction right now. I love stupid movies, like Talladega Nights or cable series like Angry Boys. I could use a stupid movie, a mojito, and some love. Or just the movie.

ruffryder · 10-06-2012, 11:49 AM

washed a couple large loads of blankets, comforters, and sheets. I'm tired now. haha.

Martina · 10-06-2012, 11:51 AM

Got up at 4am and flew halfway home. Waiting for the next leg of the journey. Airports are boring.

grenade · 10-06-2012, 12:11 PM

A mild hangover, lost keys (found in panic), key stuck in lock of door at my training room, and spilled coffee did NOT keep me from completing my Saturday morning class on time and with giggling, happy trainees.

*pats herself on the back*

easygoingfemme · 10-06-2012, 05:41 PM

Raked the back yard (and got a blister on my thumb)
Watched a windstorm blow through and cover my yard again with leaves.
Walked the dog.
Did some touch up work on the wood floor I put down in my bedroom last week and started moving furniture back in there.
Because I was able to move said furniture out of the library where I'd been storing it, I did some work on organizing the library.
(moved into this house in February and have been renovating it since last November, still lots to do)
Dug winter coats out and started washing them up
Cleaned out the garage a little bit
Met friends for ice cream
Used gift certificates I had for a local independent bookstore and gourmet kitchen supply store and came home with treats.
Made dinner.

deb0670 · 10-06-2012, 06:06 PM

I got a lot of homework done
Actually slept some
walked to the grocery store with my daughter
walked back home with groceries
helped a lost puppy find its owners
did two loads of laundry
made some cheese dip for the football game
helped a friend with her computer and got it running better.

JustJo · 10-09-2012, 07:03 PM

Not all today, but in the last few days I have...

replaced the inner workings of a toilet....which didn't go as easily as usual and resulted in an hour-long wrestling match with a wrench
mowed the back yard
cleaned the gutters....many, many trips up and down a ladder and little cuts on my hands from the metal edges
mowed the front yard....including fighting with a clogged and stalling mower

...and of course all the usual, work, getting Rooster to school, taking care of animals, taking care of the house, making meals, shopping....

I am freaking exhausted....my wrists are throbbing from carpal tunnel...and I can't decide if I need an advil, a nap or a massage.

...maybe all of the above.

DamonK · 10-09-2012, 07:07 PM

Very little of what I needed to do

laruss · 10-09-2012, 07:11 PM

I went to the Chiropractor,
Sent out 4 resumes to jobs in the city I want to move to,
Sent out two resumes to jobs here (don't ask me why),
updated my info on the NaNoWriMo site,
Made 2 new resumes to use for different types of jobs,
Did updates on my two FB pages,
Skyped with both of my granddaughters,
Did laundry,
Made some decisions,
and played with the dogs.

I would say a very productive day so far.

bright_arrow · 10-09-2012, 11:57 PM

- Completed a 9-hour shift without wanting to kill someone at the end of it

- Put a cashier in her place after she, playfully, swore at me.. I have decided, as her supervisor, that just will not fly anymore. Customers have free reign, I will not have my cashier tell me to "get the fuck on it" after I have moved lunches and swapped people to not only give her a 6 o'clock lunch but to get her moved to the front end from the lumber area. I work with everyone - if schedules allow it, I will move them where they prefer - but some really seem to have the mindset that they are owned it. It's my shift, STFU or GTFO.

- Bought Christmas cards. Yes, I am getting on that hella earlier. With work, school and home projects, I feel like I have zero free time anymore. I really hate being a grown up sometimes.

- Posted to my English class, both a response to a discussion and a response to a classmate. Still got more to do.. and another essay to start cracking on. Good goddess I HATE essays. WTF was I thinking? I may just not enroll next semester solely to have a freaking BREAK. It sounds like a good idea to me.. Really thinking in hindsight I should have taken a break this semester like I planned.. Or taken a class or two.. not three.

bright_arrow · 10-10-2012, 06:20 PM

Posted three reply posts in one essay of three, posted a starter in my second of three essays, and posted my thesis statement for my English paper as well as responded to three other thesis statements. I am on a friggin ball
