8am Wake up, ready for the day and keen to be as productive as possible.
8:01 Accidently fall back asleep.
10:03 Wake up again, really ready to start the day this time.
10:03-1030am Shower & get dressed. Decide should wear jeans instead of “house pants” just in case I want to go outside.
10:31 Breakfast & read local paper “what’s happening” section. Get excited about all the interesting things going on in the local area.
10:55 Realise paper is a week old and all events have now passed.
10:56 Sit at desk to begin writing
10:57 Call sister to hear her news
11:35 Sit back at desk to work. Open blank word document.
11:36 Remember bills need paying,
11:47 Call Telstra to query increase in phone bill.
12:22 After lengthy hold periods and discussions eventually remember I increased it a while ago. Thank Telstra operator for help. Leave them a good rating for service. Feel happy that good deed is done for today.
12:37 Sit back down to blank word document.
12:38 Decide health insurance isn’t comprehensive enough and needs to be upgraded. Cannot live another minute until this is done. Call health insurance company.
1:27 Call complete and insurance sorted. Satisfied with today’s progress decide it’s time for lunch…
2:34 Decide it’s really time to do work now.
2:35 Open blind in bedroom.
2:38 After a few minutes staring out window, realise window is too dusty and can’t see out if properly. It must be cleaned.
2:39-2:55 Look for Windex.
2:56 Find Windex and begin cleaning.
3:15 Finish cleaning. Feeling good. Getting shit DONE!
3: 16-4:20 Put washing on, tidy desks, sort clothes.
4:21 Decide on an interesting topic to write about, must research this.
4:22 Research flights to Melbourne instead.
4:40 Eyes are straining so take a walk to the bakery to get a biscuit. Lucky I didn’t wear my house pants or I would have had to change. Congratulate self for this move.
4:45 Eat biscuit.
4:48 Feel guilty about eating biscuit, so go for a run.
4:49 – 8:29 Run, shower and dinner time suckage.
8:30 Get back to computer to continue researching weekend away.
8:42 Book flights for Friday the 13th.
8:43 Worry a little that this is a bad day to fly.
8:44 Think self is stupid for being superstitious about flying on Friday 13th.
8:45 Decide to purchase carbon offset with flight to get good karma in order to equalise Friday 13th bad luck. Feel better.
8:46 Face blank word document and write a heading.
8:47 Creep around Facebook admiring the achievements of others.
11.06 Go to shut down computer. It asks me if I want to save the word document. Feel judged by the computer.
11:08 Get into bed and recap the days achievements. Sleep comfortably…
I read this after snoozing until 1030!!
At least we’re in good company 😉

Cheers 😉
“Decide to purchase carbon offset with flight to get good karma in order to equalise Friday 13th bad luck. Feel better.”
I’m pretty sure that’s now karma works. I nearly spat red wine over my laptop as I read it.
20:24 – Read something funny a girl wrote and almost ruined a perfectly good laptop.
20:26 – Curiously checked the prices of new laptops and compared it to my current fiduciary situation and potential to purchase the aforementioned device.
20:27 – Felt sad about being a journalist. And poor. Hypothesised the two may be related.
20:28 – Refilled wine glass.
Thank you for sharing this unique look at your day!
Haha glad you appreciate my karma logic! I reckon it’s flawless.
9:04 Spent a few minutes formatting and printing “Ultimate Guide to Writing…” including tip no. 2 “Don’t Procrastinate”. Will see how far I get!
Enjoy your red wine 🙂
If I understand the concept of ‘house pants’, thank you for not going outside in them. I hate that… unless I am wrong and you don’t mean those pajama things everybody goes to the store in, then never mind…
Haha, i meant baggy pants (or trousers) like pajama pants. Basically unfit to be seen in public 😉
I am right every once in a while.
Ha ha – I am wearing house pants right now! I often change into them between school drop off and pickup times. For me, they are any comfy pants with an elasticsed waist (this is important). 🙂
Yep, that’s the way I like them! The more give the better 😉
