the needle is only slightly above ZERO. but steady. need to cross a few things off the list
I like working part-time on my own schedule. Did two 1-hr blocks so far today, partly because Iām taking time to absorb something new.
Iāve only got one thing left to do, waiting on data to update a model. I hope the data isnāt screwed up, if it goes well Iāll be clocking out here shortly.
Just paused all my ads, walking away from work and going to bake some pumpkin pies for Sunday family dinner.
I just remembered the conversation I had with the very stereotypically Dutch farmer who lets us hunt on his land.
Me: do you want some pumpkin pies? I grew the pumpkins.
Him: I donāt like pumpkins.
Me: would you prefer a pumpkin loaf then?
Him: I donāt like pumpkins.
Lol,.ok.
just told a prospect that their data this year is so wildly different from last yearās thatā¦something needs to be corrected. good gravy. but you canāt use it for UW if you saw both, thatās for sure.
Pumpkin stuff rarely tastes like pumpkin, it usually tastes more like pumpkin pie spice.
I donāt like bananas, but I donāt mind banana candy flavor.
Both are gross.
Long day. Headache. More GAFing to do but at least it doesnāt have to be done while wearing pants.
or underwear
7hrs of net driving today.
Finally made it to the hotel out in the sticks (navigating in back country roads with no lights can be no fun at all)
So many Fs to give today. I just got asked to do about a monthās worth of work by next Wednesday. Yeah, no. And it seems the more they want me to do, the more they also want to meet to discuss it. Hey, if Iām in five hours of meetings, Iām not gonna get much work done folks.
Hoping to get caught up enough to clock out by 4:00, rough week.
The question is, how much is a monthās worth of work? Iāve had roles where it was 200 hours, and some roles where it was 20 hours.
Typical Friday for me, busiest day of the week by a multiple. And my spouse who is also my admin person, is away. Iāll be lucky to finish by 6 today.
Fair. Iād say what they want will take something like 400 hours, not all of which falls on my shoulders. Probably like 100 hours of my time spread out over a month or so, I donāt know. It was just dropped on me and I havenāt thought through it yet other than itās not simple.
The old:
āItās an impossible task; give it to an actuary,ā trick.
Second time Iāve fallen for that this month!
not feeling it today GAF-o-meter: -1
It is a lovely, sunny Friday here. Gonna be difficult to GAF.
Iām in the home stretch, can see the land of no Fās to give, but just a little bit more to go.
