What's this, productivity?!
Apr. 13th, 2010 08:51 pmI've actually had a fairly productive day even though it got off to a rocky start thanks to a killer headache.
I realize now that one reason I've been feeling down when I go to work is that I've been somewhat directionless, but for the past few days they've had me preparing and sending out mailings for them. Today as I was doing it I was wondering why I felt pretty cheery, and then realized that it was because I felt useful. As independent as I am I think I can feel directionless if I'm just left on my own for too long, so I'm going to keep that in mind.
Sadly, Dorothy, a woman I work with, has her last day on Friday since she was just a temp while one of our people was on maternity leave. I'm going to miss her since she's a very nice person, and I might give her something like cookies when she leaves on Friday.
When I got home I actually had a bit of energy left in me, so I started on a project that will hopefully kill two birds with one stone. I have to have a presentation for the 29th for that mentor program that, to put it mildly, flopped, and basically come up with ways we can prevent that from happening again. Additionally I have to do a survey for my research methods class, and I decided that I'll combine the two tasks and do a survey about what people would look for in a mentor program. I drew up a rough version of the survey and will show it to the professor tomorrow, and have the data for the 29th for my presentation.
Randomly, I'm getting mad at the guys on Ace of Cakes for mangling the Russian they're trying to speak. It's spa-see-ba, not spa-see-bu! At least it's not as bad as the people who say "spacebo" like "placebo". Still wrong.
