Mistress of Multi-Tasking Strikes Again!

[thessalian]

Good morning, world. Another workday has begun and I still don't want to be here. However, there's hope -- fine, it's coming-up-in-a-few-weeks hope, but it's hope anyway. I've booked my next block of annual leave on the week of my birthday (6 - 10 Feb). My birthday's on a Friday this year yay! Though it seldom makes any difference because, what with annual leave and unemployment, I haven't been to work on my birthday in years. There were some complaints in the office about my annual leave booking, not because the work wouldn't get done (although it won't) but because there's no excuse for cake. James is talking about a pre-emptive or post-emptive strike, despite the fact that he's away the following week, and apparently the argument "you don't need an excuse for cake" falls on deaf ears.

The main reason that I don't want to be here is not, for a change, because I'm tired and grouchy and generally out of sorts -- in fact, I've slept properly for the first time in days, or so it seems. The main reason that I don't want to be here is that I have so many better things I could be doing with my time. I have Bloodlines people to create in Sims 2 as basic overviews for weaselbitch and I think I may have a handle on Urban Chaote but I'll have to see if it comes out as some kind of bastardised Mage clone before I get too impressed with myself on that score. I have things to do, damn it, and I'm stuck here ordering toner cartridges and sorting referees' comments! Mrrgh.

This is the problem with being Creative People. Being Creative People seems to damn near invariably mean working a day job and dreaming of projects, and then when the work day is over, not having the energy to actually do them. Multi-tasking is, therefore, the only way. Well, at least I'm good enough at my job to get away with it.

Of course, that doesn't help the model creation, as my entire Sims 2 set-up is, by necessity, at home. But I can sort through papers while thinking Urban Chaote and advantages for Bloodlines. Oh, and more coffee. Must have more coffee. Just because I feel better rested than I have in a while doesn't mean I'm not still a little bit dozy. Hopefully the good sleep will continue and I'll actually be awake sometime next week.

It's always a good sign for your place of employment when cake ranks high in the list of priorities.

I've noticed that about being Creative People, too. Someday I'll figure out how to proxy into my home computer from work, so I can have access to all my time-wasting files while I sit here scanning things.
