Things I Did Accomplish Today
1. Woke up early for an 8 am meeting
2. Made a very important phone call pre- 8 am meeting
3. Nodded my head and smiled thoughtfully from 8 - 9:30 while wishing I had sat on the side of the room closer to the food and caffeine
4. Plugged my ears and attempted to work as my cube-mate droned loudly through the very thin and carpet partitioned modular wall panel
5. Made polite conversation with 50 members of the board while assuring them that fundraising is not crashing and burning in these tough economic times despite the fact that we are $1M behind our goals from this time last year
6. Schmoozed with the mayor of the city and then snuck out of the event early to go home and jump in bed in a pair of cozy pajamas
Things I Did NOT Accomplish Today
1. Regain my sanity
2. Get a return phone call from very important person and am now left playing phone tag
3. Manage to edge to the side of the room with caffeine- instead I went through the day tense and caffeine-less
4. Manage to harness the power of selective deafness for key coworkers and cube-mates
5. Learn to say no when it comes to event invitations. Not that I mind attending events. I just mind attending events every night. And pretending that I like people when in reality I like my warm bed and cozy pajamas more.
