Friday

7:00am  Alarm goes off.  Hit snooze.

7:07am Alarm goes off.  Get out of bed.   Make coffee, eat breakfast, get dressed.

8:00am  Skype with you-know-who.

8:30am Go to work.  Score a door-standing spot on the train.

9:00am  Prepare for my 9:30am meeting.

9:30am  Meeting meeting meeting.  About the same stuff as yesterday, but with a different group of people.

11:30am  Go back upstairs.  Half-heartedly work work work.

12:30pm  Can’t seem to focus.  It’s Friday and I’m exhausted.  Go outside and get a coffee.

12:50pm  Meet with my coworker to review this morning’s meeting.

2:00pm  Go downstairs to train someone who is taking over the funder reports that I do.  Somehow, by process of elimination, I’m the only one left in the agency who know how to do these reports, but it is really a waste of my time.  I’m happy to be handing them over to someone else, but the training process takes months.

4:00pm  Go back upstairs.  I’ve lost all motivation to work.  The office on the floor below ours is having their holiday party, and I can hear the music and the loud voices.  It does not increase my motivation.

6:00pm  Finally pack up shop and head home.  The train is totally empty and I sit down and read my latest New Yorker.

6:30pm  I call and order sushi to be delivered.  I sit down and read a few of my favorite blogs.

6:45pm  Sushi is delivered.  Yum!  I eat while still perusing blogs.

7:15pm  Then I start checking out places to stay and things to do for our vacation in the Yucatan Peninsula in February.  So much to do and see!

9:45pm  Where has the time gone?  I don’t know, but I’m exhausted.  I wash up and curl up in bed for some reading.

10:30pm  I’m out like a light.
