overthinking it.
lately i've been on this kick where i feel i have to be organized and official and communicative about everything. granted, being official and communicative has it's vague advantages at work, assuming anyone is paying attention when i do so, but otherwise it tends to turn into organizational fluff. i have nice to-do lists of things at my case job and at home (at jo-beth i mostly just fling myself at whatever seems the biggest impending disaster at the moment), but i find that usually, those lists take about as much energy and time as the actual tasks would if i would just go ahead and do the already. basically, i think my brain is trying to trick me into thinking i'm very busy and important by putting into place all these new systems to house almost no information.
the boss (@ case) asked me to work the front desk today as both of the other administrators are out sick. this is no problem, but since all my files are on my own computer which refuses to play nice on the network, short of emails tons of docs or burning them or whatnot, i'm left with a cute, meticulous, pointless to-do list (see above paragraph) and no actual work to do. I may create a ride sign up sheet (which no one requested) for the department picnic in a couple weeks, just for the sake of having something to email about that i did today.
seems like there's lots of stuff going on, i'm just not sure where. i think there's a lot of stuff going on around me that i can't attend or isn't coming up until later but it's already my mind. i'm still planning to open up the invite to whomever would like to come up on the 27th and hang out, and boy do i have a lot of cleaning to do before that! that might actually be worthy of a to-do list.
school year is gearing up, which means more stuff at case and more stuff w/ AXO. maybe my brain just knows i'm going to have to be organized in a month or so, and is trying to get a head start.

I'm excited about the 27th!! You don't have to clean too much - just get everyone good and drunk, and they won't notice the piles of stuff (and the next day, you can say they messed up your entire apartment while wasted, and they won't remember a thing!).
