Spare room will have to wait til roomie moves out, too much crap in there to paint, but I am working on the decorating scheme now. Pricing new kitchen counters and flooring, reorganizing the attic now that we have additional floor space up there so I can see what we actually HAVE. Serious fall cleaning needs to be done, including steam cleaning carpets, etc. Starting to do research ahead of time for my eventual move to Madison.
Work: trying to keep everyone sane in the face of looming layoffs, auditing training records and lab notebooks, organizing 2004 budget, travel, meeting and work process info for the boss and the boss's boss, who is rapidly discovering my usefulness with such things.
School: making relaxation tape for counseling class, starting final paper ahead of schedule, preparing to make second videotape, studying for Ethics exam #2 next week, and trying to figure out my spring schedule. I think I actually see an endpoint of May 2005 for graduation if all falls into place!! |
that would be a full plate 
 never mind what i'm doing.
it's nothing, really.

home: putting wallpaper on the bathroom walls.
working on a nature scene of a partridge in a "birch" tree for Christmas. I'm doing this one mostly with charcoal and some pastels. it's very detailed. i really like the challenge, though. when i'm through, i'll run it off, and make christmas cards. 
work: i had a terrible first job experience. i wasn't being used at all for my masters in library and information science. meanwhile, the library really suffered. i presented a list of everything i expected to change as far as the library was concerned at a library committee meeting and all the faculty just about died. when i quit, the dean began to cry. she said she'd even hire an assistant. i was like, sue, i told you what i needed to change and no one was receptive to these changes. so, i'm cutting my lossese and moving on. i graduated in august, so i felt it was better to leave now than a few months down the road and have to explain that to employers.  they actually had me procoting tests....

dang shellee, I'm so disappointed for you. I am sorry this one didn't work out--but maybe there is something better up the road. I'm hoping that will be the case. 
And Genie, you are an inspiration!

Wallpaper is eval! The people who had the house before me did not prep the wallboard so it comes down with the wallpaper. One bathroom was so bad I had to use texture paint to cover it up.
Home:
Paint bathroom (different then above)
Put up shelves in 2 bedrooms
build new bar that separates kitchen and dinning room.
build new bed frame with drawers underneath
Landscape front yard as japanese garden build around Japanese maple
Endless pruning
Build office/library in basement when I can get rid of kids junk
Work:
Currently waiting for other people to get me answers/fix what they screwed up so I can build systems/reports for other people.

Home: all projects on hold until Monday 11/24.  Until then, my only goals are to not drive The Paramedic out due to my taper, actually take the clothes out of the basket and put them in the drawers/hang them in the closet, and eat. After then, clean neglected house from top to bottom, finally finish remodeling downstairs bathroom, and finish all Christmas shopping by 12/12.
Work: train for the next two weeks, then begin laborious task of manual revision (a constant) plus a custom manual for customer I'm currently training (interesting, but supah time consuming).
School: one more test in accounting, one more in math. Batch of "reflection journals" due next week for ed psych, followed by 10 page ed psych observation paper (my fabrication of how I'm teaching the 'medic to run 3M in 9 weeks aka C25K while actually not teaching him squat). In essence, a bunch o' useless crap. Five more weeks ... five more weeks ....
