Perpetual Ruminations

Thursday

This is it, Thursday night and time for me to be in bed; actually past time. I got home earlier today, but I was so tired I couldn't focus, so I took a three hour nap. After I got up, it was time to get some work done.

I tackled a bigger project, creating a New Hire Orientation Checklist book. I'm working with MS Word, so not real familiar with the program, and some of the documents are in Word format, some are in Excel, and some are PDF's. Then, I also have some forms that I need added in.

I got most of it figured out and it looks pretty good, but I could not find any way to include the forms without scanning them. I just left blank pages where they will go, and insert them after I print the pages out. I have it ready, I just need to look it all over one last time and then print it out and put it together. I can get a binding done for it pretty cheap; just spiral bound, but it will work fine.

It just took most of the day, then supper and a little Netflix and now a snack and bed. Tomorrow is another early day, but I do get done earlier. I would be able to get more done, but I told Len I would go fishing.

I know, it's good to get a break, but when your tired, have a lot on your mind, and so much to do, it's not really a break. It's just getting one more day behind, and more stress and work to try and get caught up. But, how do you explain that to someone who isn't working and has nothing but time?

Even if I could, I don't think he would understand. He takes things less seriously, as a rule, than I do. I suppose I take things too seriously, but I don't know any other way. If there's something that I need to do, I can't push it aside, it's just right there until I get it done.

Unfortunately, this summer just hasn't granted me any time to do that. Hopefully soon, but then what? I finally get some time off, but I'm so far behind I spend it working and trying to get caught back up? Probably.
