Toooooooo Busy!

Not enough hours in the day to get everything done and I'm falling into bad habits again. I know I am, and I keep trying to convince myself that it’s a one off. But as it’s Thursday now and I’ve started work an hour early and finished an hour later than I should since Monday, I may have a problem.

I blame youngest child for getting in to work early. He took his C.V. around to the landscape gardening companies in our area and managed to gain himself a week’s trial, with the chance of a job at the end of it if he can prove himself a good worker. Finger’s crossed - although the poor kid is shattered at the end of the day. Now he has to be in work for 8.00 a.m., so I’ve been getting up at the same time as him and hence I’m now getting into work for 8.00 a.m. too - or earlier.

And Himself can take the blame for me not finishing early. He’s doing an hour’s overtime and doesn’t get home until 6.15pm. So where as before he, how shall I put this? Discouraged me to work after 5.00pm and broke me of my bad habit of working sometimes nigh on twelve hour days, I now know that as long as I’m home for 6.00pm he’ll be none the wiser. And I can get so much done in those extra hours – no one else is in that early or that late for that matter and I don’t get disturbed. It's so quiet, peaceful even - I do miss having an office to myself. But we've grown so much that we've outgrown the property and are currently looking for new premises, everyone shares an office other than the CEO.

And lunch seems to be getting later and later – I’ve been in and out of meetings all day and I’ve only now sat down to eat my sandwich and find out what’s going on in the world.

Never mind I’m sure it will sort it’s self out in the end – and I’ve not fallen back into the habit of sorting out all of the problems around here – such as the light flickering in the ladies toilet. Passed that one on to accounts. Well, a purchase order number would be needed after all. And it’s Friday tomorrow, so it will soon be the weekend; I’ve not got to the point when I’m taking work home with me again or coming in on a Saturday – well, not yet at any rate :-)
