I spent many hours today compiling historical/statistical/monetary information for a patron who is near death. The head of the press office was calling me every 15 minutes to ask if I had totals. I had to spend two hours in the bloody archives to crosscheck everything.
All the work I had scheduled? Flushed.
All the work I need to do? Rescheduled.
Tomorrow, I have a 6-hour block to do my monthly report closeout from January. That is twice the time it usually takes, but it is the first time I will be doing it. I hope it is enough.
FTR, I have meetings the two hours I am not working on reports tomorrow.
I need a holiday. Dead presidents’ birthdays can’t come soon enough.
As I said this morning? Ptooey.
