susandennisThe nature of my job - at least right now - is that on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, I just wait around for something to do. (On Mondays and Fridays, I have off and my co-worker does the sit and wait game.) Yesterday, I there turned out to be less than 30 minutes worth of 'to do'. Today, who knows?
I've asked my project manager (the one who deals with the client) if we can't work out some kind of deal where I would not have to be sitting around all day waiting. We have created a bascillion pages that have yet to be published and once they are, there will be at least several days of work but between now and then, I'm not sure what she needs us to do.
I do have a conference call today with the other web producers who work for my boss. His guy in charge of assigning work is the one who called the meeting. I should hear about upcoming projects then.
My drothers would be to get more work - other projects. I'm still not ready to retire. I could do it financially - it wouldn't be the greatest of times for that but it would certainly be possible - but, honestly, having more than a couple of days a week with nothing on my plate is just not my cuppa right now.
Yes, I could go volunteer someplace but generally that involves being nice to other people - not my forte or in my skill set. And I can't knit bears all day every day.
So I am hoping for a new project sometime soonish.
My meeting is from 11-noon so I can't do the exercise swim class I had planned on. But there is a class at 1:30. It's at a pool a lot farther away but if I've got nothing else to do, what the heck. Maybe.
First up today, however, regardless of any swim class will be treadmill time at the gym. I've been sitting on my ass with not much exercise for too many days in a row. So it's off to the gym, then shower, then we'll see what's next.
