- Burned Out

-
So, of course, I let them see that I'm good at what I do and they wanted more of me. I'm working practically full time at a day job. Exactly what I didn't want. Yeah, we need the money, so I'm trying to just muddle through for a while. Don't get me wrong - I like my job, but lately I feel like it's getting the best part of me and my life 'outside of work' is suffering.

I have this giant 'to do' list that's just staring at me. There's not much more frustrating than leaving things undone for weeks at a time. I haven't done my grocery shopping simply because I haven't found the time.

I'm a night person living in a daytime world.... like my mom used to say "burning the candle at both ends".

- RSS to Email

With the addition of more work hours, I've decided that I need to be able to access my email, calendar, and stuff from any computer I sit down at. So, I put a forward on my geminidreamz mail to my gmail inbox. I spent some time organizing my Gmail with labels and filters so I can handle it being my main inbox. I got a great gmail notifier for Firefox and I customized my personal Google page.

Anyway, I love my RSS feeds. There's a couple that really build up before I get a chance to read them. Download Squad is the main one. I know I can look at it on my main Google page, but I want it to stick around and show full articles. I found a free service that will send my RSS to my inbox - http://www.rssfwd.com/rssfwd/index . Now, if I can find a easy way to get my Gcal to sync with my PDA, I'll be happy as can be!

- Getting Reorganized

-
I really miss having more time on my hands. I keep thinking back to my year in TN... I guess it was just a long vacation. I actually had hobbies. Hobbies. What a concept. My little part time job has become practically full time. It's amazing when I get a chance to actually clean up my desk and get a few things done. This weekend, I've spent more time in my office than I have over the last month. I'm grateful when I get some "mary" time.
