Random observation. Telemarketing only irritates me. You will not sell me/solicite me/convince me of anything by calling me at home. Does it actually work on *anyone* anymore??

I took the WHOLE MORNING off. To be perfectly honest, I'm going a little crazy and flying apart at the seams under my horrible, ridiculous workload. I was really, really, really hoping to take a whole sanity week off in February, but that's so not happening. So I sat down and wrote completely self-indulgent fanfiction, browsed all those sites I never have time to check, and put on Swedish pop music. Yay! (Okay, not Swedish pop, necessarily, just the pop music that was on Swedish radio while we lived there, which will always be 'Svenska music' in our heads.) I'm very, very, very sorry to all the people who are waiting on me to get through my 3" stack of contracts and PA paperwork and answer emails and generally do my job. Seriously, I needed the unwind. Otherwise, you get a hatchet in the forehead with your pretty prints.

Since then, I've updated my Services page and answered some emails and filled an order that I still need to package.

It's nephew ferrying and gaming day, and I've got a commission to work on. But now, I have 15 minutes to pack up and get out of here. Huh. Paypal appears to be randomly not emailing me payment notices. Grrr... At least I thought to check my account before writing embarassing 'your order came through but I got no payment' emails...

Much to do! Off to do it!

Is Paypal not sending them, or is your ISP not delivering them sometimes? We occasionally get the randomest stuff stuck in our ISP's spam filter. :P

In this case, I don't think they were leaving paypal - I check my junk mail folder religiously. But they're coming in now, so *shrug* - who knows!

What sort of gaming do you do these days? :)

I'm currently in an apartment with 4 other people, including my girlfriend, and everybody here is a gamer. Our weekends can get kind of hectic to plan between normal stuff and the half a dozen tabletop games everybody has to plan around.

Cthulu, Seventh Sea, and we're starting up on Hackmaster - same group, rotating weeks.

I don't know how you get through the workload you do, I am always worn out just reading! You need a bit of time for you though! You need some heavenly angels to help make your workload a little less stressful!

I agree. Telemarketers should be shot down... particularly since none of them can ever pronounce my surname correctly and then they start going on their spiel after one's barely said "Hello".

And yeah, you really do need that secretary. Are you thinking of hiring someone soon?

No one works for pixie dust anymore, so a secretary is right out. :P
