There have been times in my life where I look back, shaking my head, and wonder how I managed to accomplish all that I did.
And then there is now – running in place as fast as I can and knowing that the towering mass just behind will smash down, flattening me just like Coyote looses to Roadrunner.
There are significant differences to the two scenarios. In the first case, I had huge tasks stacked on me with some resources but mostly my complete attention with minimal other distractions (can you spell deployed?), clear goals and some definite endpoints. In the current situation, there is just a lot to do, and I am the one who is going to suffer if it is not completed.
Shall we add that I really don’t like spending time in self promotion?
Anyway, I have whittled my task list down steadily while completing a number of other jobs that only were added onto the end of the list as they were finished so that I would feel better. Like helping the Mole with some applications and writing a supporting letter explaining his educational history (gee – what if you don’t have a high school guidance counselor? Who does fill out those fun forms?)
Tomorrow it is London, Thursday on to Andover. Friday it may be a run out to who knows where to bail a car out of the VPC (vehicle processing center, don’t you just love that the military can come up with an abbreviation for anything?). Sat we pack the car. Sunday we repack the car after I get done finding all the things that are still in my office…..
Monday I go home.
