The Busiest Month
I’ve had cruel months. I’ve had stupid months. And I just looked up and realized what today’s date is, and realized what a really, truly, amazingly, unbelievably, effing busy month it’s been.
So, here’s my recipe for a busy month.
1. Have your boss quit. Make sure that it happens when you’re the management team member with the most seniority and the one who knows the most about what’s going on.
2. Get promoted. Be conscientious about training your replacement, getting your files in order, tying up loose ends, etc. Be equally conscientious about learning your new job. Be attentive and helpful to your successor as she moves into your old job.
3. Have a lot of experience doing business writing at a time when your company needs someone who can.
4. Put off a lot of yoga-teacher-training homework.
5. Have ALL your library holds arrive at the same time…the new books…you know, the ones you can’t renew.
6. Make a commitment to go to the gym more often.
7. Work a lot of overtime.
8. Join a new gaming group.
9. Have a four-day-long migraine.
10. Have the last training seminar you need for your RYT-200 cancelled. Find one in another city, at least 2 hours away. Make plans to attend at the last minute. (My Level 3 in Indy was cancelled. Fortunately, I got one the same weekend in Cincinnati. All I need now is a hotel room and I idea of where the hell I’m going.)
11. Have your amazingly handy housemate fix a few things, like the roof and the dishwasher. And paint at least one room in your house. (Doesn’t affect your schedule much, but is great for making you feel like lots of things are getting done.)
12. Try to have a life in spite of it all.
I don’t recommend having your mom break her foot, or spending an evening too nauseated to sit up, but it will help out with your goal.
