The past two days are potential proof of this ... What's happened? Hmmm... let's see... How's about a day and a half trip to Nashville, an outside issue that's come up around a farm that used to be my Grandfathers, a stupid problem with Excel calculations that just boggles the mind (yes, I can waste as much time chasing technical issues as the next idiot). It all boils down to the fact that after my afternoon's work, I find myself about where I wanted to be Thursday morning. This means I'm finished scrubbing all the work that I had already accomplished prior to the month. I'm turning toward home with nothing but virgin territory in front of me--except, of course, that I want to go back and fix some of the issues I was talking about early this past week. Grumble, grumble, grumble...   I still have every intention of getting to "The End" by the end of the month, though. And baring other big time sinks, I think I'll make it--though it may be a bot closer than I would have liked. [grin] The positive lining of these events, if there is one, is that I had a bit of forced quiet time to think about some of the issues I know are plaguing the work I've done so far. This is good. So, now I'm going to take a few moments to stretch, then start slipping back through my issues list. My revised goal is to have addressed all the "middle" issues by the end of the weekend, so I can set focus on the end during the last week/weekend of the month. Have a great weekend.   We just figured you fell off the face of the Earth for two days... Daily Persistence is © Ron Collins |
