oh wow, its been a month since I've written - lots of things going on here, too busy to keep all the blogs updated - although I have notes all over the place of things i want to post here.
It was a rough end of March - one of my cats has asthma - so not more smoking in the house, or at least not that often, she went to the emergency vet 3 separate times, numerous checkups at the vet and now she's on daily medication, many sleepness nights for me.
It was tax time and on top of that I have several big organization projects going, though I had more help available but it seems everyone has other issues. You know what I hate the most, not calling me back because you feel bad about not calling me back or not showing up. At least when I call to reschedule people, I call and say I'm sorry, and don't flake.
I should be working right now but I needed to get this out of my head.
AM I MAGNET FOR STUPID PEOPLE? I hired a girl to help with the projects and potentially a general office assistant but the amount of work she just gave me because she did a few things wrong, I don't think its going to work out. I'll give her a 30 day trial period but my god if I have to step by step show her how to open a bill and sort it - I don't have time to deal with that. I gave her a pile of bills to open and a letter opener assuming that she has opened bills before, I mean really, she's 20 years old, she has a kid, she must have open a bill or two in her lifetime. So what did she do? The sliced open the envelope and put it in a pile...that is not opening a bill. I asked her to sort through project related folders and see if maybe a sprint bill was stuck inside it or something other type of bill or bank statement - what did she do, she took everything out of the project related folder and put in a pile along with about 10 other projects - got them all mixed up - that means I've got about 3 hours worth of work putting it back together and lets hope I can figure out what receipts goes with what project.
I'm so overwhelmed and stressed out. I just want time to see my sister and the new baby, time to go out on a date would be nice, ooooo, time to take a shower - that would be soooo nice, oh, yea, be awake enough to catch subtle clues from a guy, that would be great instead of realizing it after the fact and yet its going to be another all nighter for me because when I took these two organization projects - I thought I would have more help available. I got a massage last night and couldn't even relax because I have too much to do and not enough help.
I know Zy's going to read this and feel guility - don't! Its not your fault but call me when you're not going to show up, don't ignore me.
so what else is happening? I hired a really cool contractor to help with my house projects because as you can figure out, I don't have the time anymore to work on my house. I wish I did, but I don't, unless I say fuck it and take a day off. I was suppose to volunteer tonight but this project has to be done by 9am tommorrow morning because it has to be dropped off at 10am in the city.
And you wonder why I keep taking on projects if I'm overwhelming busy - hell, I don't know. Part of the organization thing is I love history and digging through someone's life is interesting to me and you've gotta read their stuff to know what your organizing and I love that.
But I wonder how hard is to file, why is that so hard for people. I mean you learn your alphabet when you're little right? Separating out sprint bills from bank statements from receipts - shouldn't be that hard right? Today I was thinking I'd rather hire my mom then this girl.
wow, my cloud status finally changed, i was wondering when it would, I know I've used alot of the 90MB.
I've started writing again, I can take the time to blog, I can take a few minutes to write too, wish I had a little more time to paint but like I said there are somedays where I'm going to say fuck it and take a day off. I'd bet my little orange tree would like to be planted and I can bet my neighbors would like me to finish painting my house.
I felt so bad, I haven't had time to go see my sister, her birthday was 2 weeks ago and I didn't even have time to just go by and give her birthday present - going tommorrow. She sounds so overwhelmed with the new baby that I just wish I could be there for her more often.
ok back to work, more coffee
