I’ve discovered that I can do two things simultaneously pretty well. Three things, and things begin to drop out of my mental queue. Four things, and I start faltering on bits and pieces of virtually everything. Five things, and I might as well not be doing anything at all.
Recently, I’ve managed to focus down to two things, and I’m having a really good time with ’em. I’ve got two other things that I’ve had to essentially force into the periphery, but it’s ok, because I’m not really critical on one of ’em, and on the other, there’s not much to do. As long as things stay that way, I’m good to go. If they change, and either of them suddenly becomes as important as either of my two primary tasks, I’m fucked.
Still, I’m definitely enjoying work, and I’m actually *really* enjoying the fact that Ei-Nyung’s been working late, because it gives me some time when no one else is around (or few people, anyway) to actually get stuff done without distraction. So that’s nice. The downside is that Mobius is alone the next two weeks, but I think he’ll be ok – I’ve been actively playing with him, trying to tire him out more, so though I’m sure it’s just a drop in the bucket, hopefully he’s at least having some fun. Maybe Monte will come over tomorrow.
Mmm. Property tax. Fun fun. Check’s going into the mail tomorrow. Gotta love it.
