I was supposed to work this morning with my old boss on a project we started together a year or more before. I was out late last night and had to be up earlier than I would have liked, but it's work, a little extra cash, so I dragged my butt out of bed and went to meet him. Half an hour later I get an email - canceled. Ooookay. Now what?
The whole time I was waiting I kept thinking that I could have been working out or sleeping in. Mostly I wanted to be working out, but knew in my heart of hearts that if I didn't have this meeting I would have slept in. By the time I got the email it was too late to go to the gym there was no way to work out and shower and get ready (both of which I had already done that morning) to be on time at my full-time gig. So I just walked home looked around and said - right lets get to work.
I did my dishes! The sink is no longer overflowing and stinky. Yay!
Then I put together part of a lunch, and even brought in a snack to share (Thursday night is treat night at work). The I stopped at Trader Joes to get a few things to round out my lunch - some trail mix to go on my salad; chocolate soy milk, I love those single serve boxes, and salsa to go with my tortilla wrap. I had wanted to also stop at a bagel place for breakfast, but ran out of time. I did have an apple though.
I feel so productive. If only that feeling could stay with me at work (which it hasn't). My first email was "I've scheduled you for X meeting, arrange your schedule to make it." The only reason it works is because something else that normally meets on that day was canceled. Otherwise I would have had to email my boss and say, "sorry, but if you had asked I could have told you that I already have Y (at your request) scheduled for that day." But no, it works out, so she'll continue to go ahead and do this shit to me without asking.
If I can get through tonight, I've got the weekend to be productive at home and work on my coverletters.
My weekend is going to look like this:
Friday - Work Out. Work on project with old boss. Clean bathroom. Go out.
Saturday - Work Out. Clean living room. Go shopping. Work on cover letters. Watch DVDs.
Sunday - Work Out. Clean bedroom. Work on cover letters. Watch DVDs.
I want my apartment to be neat and clean and airy and bright on Monday. That is my goal. I also want a workable template cover letter than I can customize for the jobs I want to apply for next week.

The DVDs sounds good. But I have so much damn work. How are ya?
I have much work too, but I ignore it. I've gotten to the point where they'd be doing me a favore by firing me. That and I don't get paid salary so I'm not about to do work at home for free.
