Yes, when my husband and I feel like we're not being social enough for a Friday night, we just remember: we do things with friends on Sundays, Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays. Fridays and Saturdays are for us, for relaxing. Well, Sundays are for the real relaxing. Saturdays are for working, and tonight, Friday nights are for working. Why? This is how my day played out:
8 a.m. - Got to work an hour early. Set up shop at my desk, which involves turning on my computer then going to the cafe for coffee, coming back (checking the thermostat on the way) and hoping my computer has booted.
8-9 a.m. - Caught up on email with a couple of authors, made notes in their files, opened Pandora.com, put in my ear buds, sent out two staff emails, and got started reading. Goal for the day: at least 21,000 words.
9-10 - Got a new cup of coffee, ate a nectarine at my desk, and kept reading.
10 - Meeting with team member.
10:30-11:20 - Read like a maniac, make lots of comments, try to view minimal email.
11:20 - 3:20! - Batman: The Dark Knight (That's right: field trip...for artsy purposes.)
3:20 - 4:00 - View minimal email, answer teammate's questions about issues he's having with a couple of authors, read?
4 - 5 p.m. - Meetings!
Did I meet my reading objective? A resounding no. Will I meet it tonight? Perhaps.
