The DH is in Telluride zooming around in Jeeps this weekend. Since we are dogsitting, tomorrow is pretty canine-ish. I am walking three dogs, giving antibiotics to one dog, giving eye drops to another dog, petting three dogs, going to the dog park with three dogs, blahblahblahdogs.

In between, I am doing laundry, cleaning house and running out to buy pretty shoes for the wedding we are going to on Sunday afternoon. (Me and DH, not the dogs.) Also maybe spanx--which I hear are awesome and will allow me to look sleek at the aforementioned wedding and FiL's 70th birthday shindig next weekend.

It's like how the workers in my various offices who just flat out DO NOT WORK LATE never get fired.

We have a department here that comes in at 10, and yet never seems to still be around if I'm here til 6. How does that work?

no one calls them on it is how.

I am totally a 9-5 worker now, but at the last job was one of the last ones there every day.

I never stay late without pre-planning/warning because of puppy care or a 6 p.m. yoga class. I do make sure I get here before everyone I supervise, though so I set a good example at one end of the day.

My job is really pretty 9-5, by which I mean 9-5:30. I'm just saying, I'd like to come in at 10 sometimes!

And then there's the thing where my predecessor worked from home three days a week, but I have to get like dispensation from the Pope to work from home!

Meh.

What are people doing this weekend?

I had some furniture delivered this week, so I'm going to be taking the piles of books off of my floor and shelving them.

I'll also be upgrading my iPhone. Fun!

My work hours are crazy. My staff arrive between 8 and 9:30 (their call; two of them like to come in at 8 sharp, the other is reliant on pub trans so it varies) and leave by 5:30 unless we're on a special project (which we are now).

My hours? Well....Monday night I was here until midnight, and then turned around and was back in office before 5 AM.

I can sleep in October.

And I'd love to tell you what I am doing this weekend, 'cept I don't know what a weekend is.

Happy Birthday to Billytea and PC!

People who travel! People who plan the F2F or anyone who travels in groups/with groups! YOU MUST TRY THIS! IT IS FANTASTIC!

What are people doing this weekend?

Most likely working on my research. I've got a few things that are currently pretty hand-wavy that I need to be able to explain fully to my adviser on Monday.

I am a little bit of a work-a holic, I will admit, and I hate making people disappointed in me. I work late and early at my regular job, too, which led to 3 days this week of working from 6:30 am - 8:40 pm, plus travel time-- so now I am tired and cranky, and I have been doing this to myself since high school (I used to work tirelessly on the school paper, and once ran National Foreign Language Week when my teacher broke her leg. I volunteered (again in high school) to spend the summer cataloging music with our chorus teacher, and I regularly worked 40 hours a week in college, and in the summers in high school) I have to learn how to say no, but at this point, at the theatre, no one is asking, just assuming things will get done.
