[Writer Post] Chaos, Disruption, and Spreadsheets OH MY!
It’s been a long week – and it’s only Wednesday. Not that it’s been BAD because it hasn’t. It’s just been very … weird. And long. And disruptive.
The annual review went well – just a day later than I had scheduled so the head of self-esteem I had going had to be maintained and that’s just exhausting. 😎 But I did stick up for myself and my accomplishments – which has led to having to pull numbers and statistics to help document the accomplishments. Bottom line?
Spreadsheets make my brain hurt. And my whole day job since the annual review seems to revolve around freakin’ spreadsheets. Ow. This is one of the MANY, MANY, MANY reasons I married Jimmy. He lives by the spreadsheet. I die by the spreadsheet.
Also, due to several compounding factors my life has been disrupted, disjointed, and in disrepair. The things I can control – the chaotic house – are in process of renormalization and are close enough to not rattle me any longer. The factors I can’t control, I’m dealing with the best I can (Darn you, Ragweed!) and have identified root causes. The knots in my neck are totally due to spreadsheets. Hello, Curvy Yoga – and I’ve made a pretty significant to continue this class.
All that to say, my writing was for poo last week. I had no focus, no concentration, no nothing. This week, I’ve committed word counts. Not necessarily BIG ones, but they are there. Things are looking better. And hopefully I’ll be out of Spreadsheet Hell for a while after this week. That would be awesome. So onward!
