I'm in a mood, and I thought I'd write about it on my dreamwidth like it's 2005 or something.

So I think it's mostly just SAD, even though I can see a strip of blue sky out the window. (Oop, no, it's gone.) I also think I'm just tired and done.

I also think I know there's a bunch of things it would be really great to get done but I can't quite summon the motivation.

So, once again, like it's 2005 or something, I'm going to write them out and see if that helps.

Work related:
- Expenses to finance and uploaded to SharePoint
- Email IT updates to some address lists
- Figure out the spreadsheet thing (an attempt was made, punting to next year)
- Two bits of diary wrangling for head of dept and deputy head of dept
- Two room bookings
- The bits of training lurking in my inbox since March (punting to next year)
- Ideally tidy up my OneDrive and get it moved to SharePoint (punting to next year)
- Handover emails, one to co-admin and one to entire team
- Out of office for me and the various shared inboxes I monitor

Non work related:
- Laundry
- Wash my hair
- Wrap presents (done and given one, snerk)
- Any food shopping for bits of 23rd to 27th I'm feeding myself for
- Figure out where I'm sleeping Xmas Day and Boxing Day and plan outfits/packing accordingly
- Start packing for visit to V's (complicated by being unclear what the weather is doing over there and some extra bits of luggage)
- Ideally clear the absolute chaos of clothes all over the floor resulting from room redecoration and inertia
- Produce a first draft of my festivid (in progress)

I think part of the problem is I think I have time and while that's true, not as much as I think, I have a couple of hours this afternoon and tomorrow for the work stuff, and then a bit of the 23rd and Xmas eve for the non work related stuff, and the laundry needs time to dry.

So maybe I'll put the laundry on and knock off the quick wins work-wise and try the bigger bits tomorrow.

Looking at that list it was pretty stupid to book 3 hours of sailing on Saturday but consider, I *really* wanted to go sailing.

Looking at that list I also think I have some sort of deadline panic spiral where I've got 3 sets of deadlines (work, festivids, stuff that needs doing before Xmas/I go away) that's made me freeze and not do any of them.

Hi, 2005! :D

I like the tiny dreamwidth revival I see here and there! I'm trying to gather more enthusiasm for posting myself, since I never took to Twitter or Tumblr in the same way, but there needs to be a critical mass of interaction to... drive more interaction.

"Bugger the tags" is the spirit! \o/
