On the Job: Incidents and Insights

Tonight at work a part-time co-worker was sharing with me his love for animals. Now please understand, I enjoy animals. They can be cute and fun and furry little companions. However, not all of this nameless co-worker's animals have fur...

He owns a python.

The very thought makes shudder.

Then he proceeded to tell me about several of his dogs (a rotweiller among them), guinea pigs, and mice. (However the mice were strictly for 'breeding purposes'...let your imagination go where it will...apparently pythons have to eat something).

Oh wouldn't life be dull if everyone was the same?!

P.S. My to-do list from yesterday was a success! I am going to try it again for tomorrow...but this time it is a secret.

To-Do List

It is Sunday night... the responsible voice in my head tells me it is time for bed, but part of me wants to prolong the inevitable.

Does anyone else struggle to find the desire and joy to begin a new work week? Every Monday (and sometimes more often than that) I start giving myself a "mental pep talk" to get in a positive state about the challenges that must be faced in the coming week.

I want this week to be productive (see previous post), and my favorite way to be productive is to make lists! So I will start my Monday to-do list...

-Devotions
-Work out
-Straighten up room
-Pack away box of old room decorations
-Pack supper for work
-Send a card to a friend
-Go to work
-Come home and sleep!

That should be sufficient for now... :-) The trick is getting everything crossed off by the end of the day!

Who else functions by making lists? Tell me about your methods to stay motivated and get things accomplished! I always welcome your brilliant suggestions!
