Ah, knew I’d forgotten to write about something. (Actually, there’s a couple of things I’ve failed to write about, despite repeatedly thinking “Must do that”, but well, maybe I need a d4d™ to-do list as well!)
Anyway – while sat on the train to the DCD gig last week, I heard the most brilliant conversation…
Her (on mobile phone) : [blah, blah] and what time is ER on E4 tonight?
Him : [must've said 9pm, as that's when it was]
Her : Oh, OK. I don’t think I’ll be back by then. What time does it start on E4+1?
This was said entirely straight-faced.
(For foreign readers, or those without satellite, I should point out that E4+1′s programmes start exactly one hour after E4′s hence the +1 in the name)
Twunty Manager : “Just so you all know, I want you to help me with the office move this weekend. As of Monday we’ll be in the new place.”
Hey, thanks for the advanced warning. Because, like I observed at the end of last week some of us have lives, even if you don’t, you utter tossflap.
I don’t deny it – my organisational skills are, on occasion, somewhat lacking. If I’m not motivated to do something then it takes an age to get done. Of course, finding motivation for things can sometimes be a problem on its own. But that’s life.
Last week, we decided to get a white-board and write up to-do lists on it. More as a self-inflicted nag, rather than asking the other to keep on saying about it ’til it gets done.
Oddly, this doesn’t seem to be necessary for general domestic stuff – that all gets done no problem anyway. But it’s the “work” stuff that we both currently seem to be utterly demotivated on. I don’t know why – it’s still satisfying once it’s done, but getting there is a bit of a struggle. Mainly, I suspect, it’s because the time we had being single (or even when I was ‘just’ coming up on weekends) gave us a lot more opportunity to stay busy by doing “work” stuff at home and so on. By this I don’t necessarily mean “work from our day jobs that we bring home because we’ve nowt better to do”, but more “stuff that isn’t domestic, but isn’t our day jobs either”.
Anyway, the to-do list idea is a winner. Out of the stuff on there, I got four items out of the way over the weekend. Not bad going!
Amazingly, D4D™ now contains no less than 890,775 words.
I was asked by the owner of Arena Flowers for a link to them. So here it is, a link to Arena Flowers. Who are, apparently, lovely and professional.
