Well, that didn't really go as planned

Work was tiring but I got handed a new project, not happy about it but it looks deceptively easy and that is worrisome. I do need to figure out if I need to present the quad chart on it today or tomorrow. I guess I will find out. So, I had things to occupy my time that wasn't working on the qual report that I've been not working on. Its dull and I'm regurgitating rather dry boring test data...I'd rather be regurgitating dry archeological texts instead, sighs.

Got home later than normal to make up time and then I tried to nap but got up to work on the studio...things aren't done yet and I ended up quitting about 8pm and just watching tv. Its almost there. I have to figure out where the broken framed prints are going and where my drawing board will be stored. I had had them all tucked away hidden before and now they will be exposed..probably stacked up behind the dress form I think. then I need to go through two baskets of stuff and vacuum and things will be almost right. I also plan on going through all of the fabric and getting rid of the bits and bobs that are too small and get rid of the fabric that isn't in period set of things. Plus I need to see if I can get 2 of my small tubs into one normal sized tub.

I did not get to my embroidery and that makes me annoyed. I guess I'll have to buckle down and get it working tonight. I'm overtired and sore and not really sure what is up with me. My legs ache all over, not just the knee, which has been doing really good. I'm gonna try kung fu tonight and see how that goes and gauge to see if I can go full speed on thursday or not. I'm hoping so.

Course I also have to admit, I put Brimstone Kiss down to read Turn Coat...80 pages in and the stuff is already hitting the fan.

A friend of mine once remarked that there are four classes of work, on two axes of easy / hard. Looks easy / is easy; looks easy / is hard; looks hard / is easy; and looks hard / is hard. He said, that of the four, the worst one from the standpoint of employee / employer relations is looks easy / is hard, because often managers don't understand where the difficulty is, and will be consequently difficult to deal with.

Word...I'm still skeptical about it and I have to have a project plan with a schedule and until I know if it really is as easy as it looks my schedule is gonna be "fluid"

I'm thoroughly convinced that you will never see Watchmen. Prove me wrong!

Umm, the fabric that "isn't in period", if it's a poly cotton blend, woven and not vile, I'm interested in it, since it makes really great scrubs.... The 100% cotton ones die to quick, but the blends are acid resistant....

I'm not sure what stuff is as this point...I have to finish the studio organization and then I can tackle the fabric bins. Not sure what is in them any more.
