 wow - so the reward i get for taking a week and running around the country visiting family is

*drumroll*

exhaustion AND piles of work!  YAYAYAAAAAA!

ok i am just feeling a teensy bit overwhelmed.  this means i am now procrastinating by hanging out in my 'safe place' (WIM) and taking comfort in everyone here... but i see the pile of work growing and even as the words 'sure, i can do that' come out of my mouth i am screaming 'ARE YOU NUTS?!  WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO DO THIS!!??"  in my head.

so i am creating an entire presentation this afternoon, from scratch, that will be submitted for 'feedback' (i.e. ripping apart, but i dont mind, makes for a better end product!) and then reworked tomorrow and then submitted again/reworked/etc. until finally submitted to sr. mgmt for approval on friday and we meet with the audience on monday morning at 9:30am. 

this on top of all the stuff thats been hanging over my head anyway.  ok really now that i am writing about it it doesnt feel all that scary.  and i like doing powerpoint.  really!  does that make me crazy?  i think it's kinda fun. 

ok i feel better now!  who says procrastination isnt productive?!  :)

*p.s.  please excuse typos/misspellings as i am too lazy to check!!!

  • I love making PowerPoint presentations! I got to make a bunch in college and now that I'm working full time, my job description has nothing to do with even opening that program!

    I catch myself doing that 'sure, I'll do that' a good bit too and get overwhelmed at times but I try to alternate larger projects then a smaller one so I can stay motivated. Often times I switch back and forth until both are done at once and then move on to a few new ones.
