Napping Is The Devil & Only Leads To My Failure

Okay...today ended up being an utter failure for getting stuff done...actually anything done. I totally own this failure outright.

Apparently instead of laying down at 10am for a 2 hour nap I should have showered instead, because the intended 2 hours turned into 4.5 actual hours. Therefore I never showered, never got dressed, never made it to the gym, never finished my shopping, and never got the studying I needed to get done today done.

My conclusion is that napping is the devil for me...

Consider it done: 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18

Just getting started: 3, 19, 20

Needs attention: Nothing!!

Spring Break Has Finally Arrived~~WooHoo!!

Yesterday I over-slept, which was just the start of my crazy day. While I was at work I remembered that I had told myself to get cash, but I couldn't remember why. So instead of paying $3.50 to withdraw money at our building's ATM I opted to save my $3.50 and leave for school. While gathering my books for school I realized I forgot all of my E&T books at home. Too late now, so I went on to TP and after we were released an hour early I realized why I thought I needed cash...to make copies @ the library! Dang-it to heck!!

I had enough on my card to copy some pages I needed for SADO, but I was $0.20 short to finish. Therefore, I couldn't even start on the copies I wanted for E&T, so I did something that I'm totally ashamed of...I took, er borrowed, the last two pages I needed for SADO. I am totally ashamed of myself and have the intention of taking them back (hopefully today if I get to leave work a little early). But I refused to take the chance of losing those two pages! Heck, there were already several pages I needed that were already missing. Needless to say...I picked up some cash tonight so I can get my E&T copies done and return the page I "borrowed."

Don't worry...I made my way through E&T without my books and I have now entered Spring Break and not a minute too soon.

Selfishness Gets You Every Time, Damn It!

When I overheard a conversation at work this morning between a support person and a coordinator I instantly thought of myself! Yes, this was the selfishness in me that made their conversation all about me. I saw how their topic of discussion would benefit me and how I could check 3 things off of my newly forming, extensively heavy "to-do" list even at 15 feet away and inside of an office. So a few hours later I approached the coordinator and brought up the subject of her earlier conversation. After the conversation I had I became sorry I had overheard the conversation and realized selfishness does have a price...

j'lynn: Did I hear a rumor that you are going to the post office?

PC: Yup. Do you need something?

j'lynn: A book of stamps would be great!

PC: They don't sell stamps in a book anymore.

j'lynn: Yes, they do.

PC: No I don't think they do.

j'lynn: Yes, they have always sold books.

PC: I think they stopped. I only buy rolls.

j'lynn: I only buy rolls too, but they didn't stop selling books.

PC: How many stamps used to come in a book?

j'lynn: Books have 20 stamps in them.

PC: So you want 20 stamps.

j'lynn: Well, if they have rolls, I'll take a roll of stamps. But since I suspect that they will not have rolls yet with the recent change of the prices I'll take a book of stamps.

PC: And if they don't have books?

j'lynn: I'll take 20 stamps.

Main points behind this conversation:

1. Selfishness gets you every time.

2. Overhearing conversations aren't really about you.

3. Just because you do not purchase something doesn't mean they no longer make it.
