It was a relatively quick day today - about eight hours of meetings with some work accomplished during the in-between times. All in all though, it was a good day. I was a little frustrated by the time I reached the end of the day, but that is not an unusual thing. The small frustrations of the day add up and by the end of the day they are carrying a certain weight. Then, if you drop something else on top of them it may be just enough to break the camels back for the day. Just enough to take me past the tipping point.
But, then, the day is done and I head home to start the three day weekend. I am sure I'll do a little work over the weekend, but not much - hopefully it will be mostly planning and such. With the overload of meetings and tasks there has been very little time for simple thinking - and thinking is so crucial in an information job. It always amazes me when I encounter people who do not understand that. But then, LOL, I do work for an incompetent Director, so I guess that should not surprise me too much.
I am definitely looking forward to the weekend and I am going to start it with an easy night, some reading, then sleeping into the morning. Last night I had two work related dreams. First, I dreamed that I was in one of the bad meetings that have characterized this project - no agenda, no control, people talking over people and ignoring the conversations around them. That dream was followed by a dream of me yelling at people on the phone. I thought it was odd that first, I had a dream that built up the stress - then I had a dream that released the stress. The subconscious is a pretty amazing place.
