Has anyone seen my motivation? Everything seems like an onerous task today and getting work done is like swimming upstream through a vat of vaseline.

Jeebus, I am one hundred percent with ND right now.

I'm even allowing myself to get caught up in a, quite literally, 28 year old argument on Facebook in order to justify my massive case of 'dontwanna'.

How can I reset this day?!

Can't help, my motivation is entirely missing--I didn't even turn on my work computer until about 10:30AM, and all I've done is send about three emails. I think I'm going to take a nap soon. ...I may decide to call this a sick day. I didn't take one in the past two weeks when I actually WAS sick, so...

I'm thinking of taking a nap too but doing so would have me waking up as I should be thinking about getting ready for bed.

I might not care about that, if I'm honest.

I want to know where the motivation party is! Clearly they are off somewhere celebrating Bob Marley's birthday or something like that.

I doubt I will find any motivation, but I've decided to step away from the computer and its delectable time-sucks and take the pooch for a perambulation.

It is freezing out, maybe that will get the blood moving.

Sigh. I'd love to be at that party, celebrating Bob.

This is just the result of a lot of long days. My show has a dress rehearsal tonight so I'll be at the theater late, and it's been a lot of late nights. I'm getting things done, it's just taking a lot to keep myself moving. Today I have gotten the dogs in for grooming, picked up equipment for a rental that goes out Saturday morning, had a rental return today and have put about half of the gear from that rental away, dealt with some box office and publicity issues for our show opening this weekend, modified two bids for projects that are coming up, filed and deleted around 200 email messages, and grabbed lunch.

It's not that things aren't getting done it's just that it's taking a lot of energy to keep myself on task and I have a HUGE list of things that still aren't done, not the least of which is being ready for tech rehearsals for my next design which start on Saturday morning. I also have two piles of papers that need to be graded, and I really have to spend some quality time on the syllabus for the class I start teaching later this month.

Ugh.

Zoe was groomed recently and is super shiny. Totally random. A friend a few blocks away called and said the mobile groomer was at her house and did I want to bring Zoe over because she had time. I am so much better than spontaneous than planned.

Can someone work on a Facebook access port that will get around firewalls? thanks. Just for timeline post reading, not game playing.

This weekend, our WHOLE UNIVERSITY will be powered down TWICE. Once to put the whole campus on generator power, on Saturday morning. And then again on Monday morning, to return us to the grid. As such, we are taking the precaution, to unplug as much of our gear as possible. Given that there are seven venues, that are in use today/tonight... something is bound to not get unplugged. A lot of it is in the students hands. To say I'm a bit anxious, is an understatement.
