I have a lot of tedious, unfulfilling work I REALLY don’t want to do today but need to clear by COB before I go on leave. I’ve had a slow start to the day and a battle of Feels. Thankfully, the sun is shining so that makes it easier to stay on the good side for now
Today’s strategy:
keep reminding myself of the reward after getting through today
remind myself efficiency is a good thing too
enjoy all the good food - today’s medicinal carb is a Woodfrog bakery croissant. Dumplings for lunch
go out and weed my planter boxes at lunchtime for some serotonin 'n shit
blast all the feel-good 70s/80s pop rock. Currently on Toto, next up is classic Chicago
celebrate the end of the day by calling/messaging people I love
I got this!..
e: busting out the ELO now. Thanks to this Russian dude who uploaded 2x 2h complications!
Ha almost sounds like my day, I’m on leave at COB and on a plane first thing in the morning, but have a STACK to get finished here at work.
Downsides for me are being onsite in a windowless dungeon (yay for IT getting the least habitable spot on the site…!) and not having the awesome music!
Plus-side, I have some kickass leftovers from last night for lunch - I’ve been looking forward to today’s lunch since I finished dinner last night!
I am infinitely grateful to be wfh on a gorgeous day like this, ngl. Blasting the music and regularly getting up from my chair when I’m bored/frustrated has been helpful. How are you going with the work? I’m making progress, bit spotty but I’m 30% of the way through the shitty reports. If I can get all the worst done by 2pm leaving just banal easy work for the rest of the day, I’ll be winning.
Also what leftovers are these?! I love a good lunch that you can look forward to.
I’m so jelly of the WFH! I’m on track to get everything finished on time thankfully. It’s just annoying that there’s heaps I could have had done already were it not for the dragging of heels by others!
My wife’s pasta, sauce, and killer meatballs (all home-made of course or her Italian mother would disown her!), will surely put me into a food coma for the latter part of the day however :D
Hahaha, I only have myself to blame for this backlog (procrastinating on the unpleasant stuff - bandaid being truly ripped off today). It’s much more frustrating when the delay is caused by others!
And that does sound like a very sumptuous meal to look forward to (succulent, even) - I definitely hear you on the food coma though! Leave the easier stuff to after you get that in your gullet :D
This upcoming break couldn’t come sooner, although it’s unfortunate timing for work as it’s a busy period with all the storms and shit. Thankfully they have never made me feel bad about leave as I generally tend to deliver otherwise.

That’s the plan! In fact I’m just about to tuck in to my meal! My Succulent Italian Meal! :D
Edit: ELO are awesome. That is all.
You have to put on Eye of the Tiger, it’s just a good rev up song for me.
Please look after yourself!
