Today is one of those fun days where i will be trying to finish a number of procrastination targets. That means the dish washer is running, the bird feeder is topped off, i've gone out to check on the racket the crows were making....

I think the crows are a family with recent fledglings: my were they making a ruckus! I half hoped that one of the young ones would be not be fledged enough and that we could adopt it. I believe a pet crow could stand up even to Edward! Happily all the youngsters were fine, just making short flights from various railings to eves as the parents exhorted longer flights.

There's nothing particularly loathsome about the procrastination targets themselves. On the otherhand, look, one of my staff is logged in and replying to a message from someone doing the install overnight. What the!!!

** Time passes as i leave a voicemail with my Dad, collect all the laundry and sort it, win a game of Lexulous (a rare event for me), get a bingo on my first move in the rematch (ditto), and chitchat with Christine and Mr M **

Ahem.

I made minor progress. Off to meeting in a bit.

ARGH I HATE PEOPLESOFT.

Still on task #1.

Four hours -- or was it five? -- on the blankety blank expense reports. It turns out that cleverly photographing the receipts as i went was not nearly as helpful or efficient as just scanning them all at once. (But is good insurance against loss.) Peoplesoft, now with oracle's branding, still is absurdly time-consuming to use. I lost my temper when my printing of the submission only printed the main page frame (which had the brand and a couple navigation elements). It took a small forever to find the submitted report: i think i found it when i'd given up.

Then an evening of pleasant activity: laundry done, two berry-apple compotes with oatmeal crumble crust, sushi from the grocery, and an episode of Kingdom before bed.

I'm trying not to stress myself out too much with the remnant tasks that await me. Maybe i can complete those as we go -- yet i value being present in meetings. And this week's design meetings....

New Director and Technologist of Renown await.
