#maybe i need to make more lists tomorrow morning... hmmmmm

[sonicenvy]

woke up to a very nice AO3 comment this morning, which helped me get some energy and got me a bit out of my continuing depression fatigue™ funk. With today's minor level energy I managed to clean my bedroom, the bathrooms, my laundry and my linens. My desk is also 75% cleaned off. Plus I finally re-opened my application for grad school. Go me; major accomplishment day actually!

WFH Day 3: 8 April 2020

7.00am - Woken up by alarm. SNOOOOZE.

8.16am- Scroll scroll scroll social media. I still have time. 

8.20am - Boss texts me to set up ZOOM VC for our meeting at 8.30 

8.22am - Set up ZOOM VC and sent details to bosses. Have a weird feeling in my stomach

8.27am - Panic as I flush the toilet. Quickest teeth brush of my life

10.11am - NOMONOMNOM Cheese toast tastes like my childhood. I love. 

10.12am - I watch American YouTuber while eating. Awww her friends did a quarantined birthday party thing for her it’s so sweet! Wondered if my friends would do something like that for me.

10.35am - DEAR LORD IT’S 10.35 I NEED TO WORK

11.00am - WORK WORK WORK 

11.11am - Call a colleague to ask about something involving my CEO. I’m always amused by how she says my name. She places a lot of emphasis on the second syllable.

12.10pm - WORK WORK WORK 

12.15pm - My shoulders hurt. Remembered a friend told me my WFH setup is not ergonomic.

12.20pm - Realise Friday is a frickin public holiday this week. Homg I totally forgot it’s Good Friday. Sorry Jesus I’ve been a terrible catholic this Lent. :( 

1.02pm - JESUS CHRIST WHAT ARE THE DUDES AT THE AIRBASE NEAR MY PLACE DOING WHY ARE THERE SO MANY PLANES?! Hello WFH can. 

1.05pm - Dear Lord what kind of industrial sized vacuum is my neighbour using why does it sound like a frickin tornado?

1.06pm - Oh it isn’t my neighbour and a monster vacuum. It’s random boat chugging up and down the river next to my house. Why are there chugging up and down? Catching people who aren’t social distancing? Scaring fish? Fantasy cruise now that travel is banned? Who knows? NEA knows? 

1.09pm - I should eat. 

1.20pm - Okay lunch! Decided on Japchae for lunch. 

1.35pm - Fuck, japchae is a lot of work!

1.59pm - Remembered I scheduled a VC with a colleague at 2pm. FUCK.

2.00pm - Text colleague to delay to 2.15pm

2.01pm - God in heaven above why am I so sticky and gross. SHOWER TO CLEANSE MYSELF 

2.11pm - Showered and bra-ed on. Phew 

2.12pm - Rolled housemate’s chair back to his table. It was good while it lasted. 

2.15pm - VC with colleague 

2.45pm - VC ends. Short and sweet. :) 

2.46pm - HOUSE MATE IS HOME YAYYYYY

2.50pm - Make Japchae for housemate’s lunch.

5.50pm - Finally send out the email phew. Realise I have to do it again tomorrow. Comforted myself that at least I have a template to work with now. 

6.03pm - Boss replies my email to say it was well written EHEHEH. I’m not too proud to say I also need praise once in a while. :) Also cos that email took me nearly an hour to write and half the damn day to prepare for. 

6.28pm - Staff texts to ask me something. Realise I owe them something. ARGH SO MANY THINGS TO DO. Promise to send it over tomorrow. 

6.30pm - Write list of things I MUST clear by tomorrow.
