Morning.
Tuesday morning. Arrived at work before 7 AM this morning so I could get through all of my emails before heading down to day 2 of Six Sigma training. And guess what? I actually accomplished my goal! There are still things that I need to do, but nothing urgent so I can hold off or try to do it during class today.
One thing that I am finding is that most people never deliver according to the deadlines that people set out for them. It seems to be the standard of most organizations that I have witnessed for people to basically blow things off. This only confirms my belief that the world is filled with a bunch of slackers. :) Honestly, I am addicted to responding to all of my emails immediately, prioritizing my work and being on time with my required projects. The general population here has definitely had it's effect on me, so I am relaxed enough to not stress about everything, but I still work my a** off.
On a related note, last night I came home after being in training all day long and had about this much work to do (Dave holds hands three feet apart). I didn't even open a single folder. The three of us were all in a giggly mood and we goofed around at dinner and then spent some time afterwards making cookies and cleaning the hamster cage. It was really nice. I am hoping to leave about the same time today and avoid work tonight as well!
