Just One Thing (15 September 2016)

[nanila]

It's challenge time!

Comment with Just One Thing you've accomplished in the last 24 hours or so. It doesn't have to be a hard thing, or even a thing that you think is particularly awesome. Just a thing that you did.

Feel free to share more than one thing if you're feeling particularly accomplished!

Extra credit: find someone in the comments and give them props for what they achieved!

Nothing is too big, too small, too strange or too cryptic. And in case you'd rather do this in private, anonymous comments are screened. I will only unscreen if you ask me to.

Go!

Three medical calls.

One "you're trying to reassure me but it's coming across wrong", which left me feeling very very secure and happy after we resolved it.

Figuring out how to say, reviewing with the other most-involved party, and then ultimately saying something very very scary. (Happy, but terrifying as a Big Step.)

[nanila]

Huzzah for tracking down actual reassurance, and for continued communication!

Walked to the beach and back home.

Bought some food.

[nanila]

Sounds like an excellent dose of self-care. \o/

Packed for an almost-week away. Got a haircut (a proper one, didn't do it myself! Can't remember the last time that happened). Tried to go swimming but it was too busy. Did laundry. Got meds for Andrew. Dealt with some overdue e-mail. Did a couple of surveys online to help Lib Dems and Henshaws. Wrote an article for a magazine.

Still have to go to Yorkshire later, so I have to not fall asleep just yet!

[nanila]

Well done on preparation and backlog-clearing!

[nanila]

Got to work super-early so I could go to my colleague's leaving lunch & still do most of a full day's work.

Did not cry at my work colleague's leaving lunch.

[sathari]

Both of those are huge! And, aww, sorry you are losing a special colleague!

[nanila]

Thank you. It stinks because it's an unwilling departure - he's fallen very ill.

[sathari]

Oh, ugh, that is awful--- my best to him and to you and the rest of you coworkers.

[birke]

Got my quarterly estimated tax payments in on time.

[sathari]

OH THAT ONE. That is HUGE! Fellow quarterly-payer, I salute you!

[birke]

:D

[nanila]

Huzzah for doing the money-stuff in a timely fashion!

[sathari]

Two big work-things and some ancillary organizing.

Exercise.

Catching up on correspondence! (I keep getting behind because Work or Travel or both.)

[nanila]

Ooh, excellent. Congratulations on all of it, especially the catching up!

[sathari]

Thanks!

Only shouted a co-worker a *little* bit. And then explained the Thing again.

This is only good in the context of neither quitting work nor refusing to be involved with task for the near future (deadline is <2 weeks).

[nanila]

Well done for exercising restraint. And good luck with the deadline!

[silveradept]

I kept good humor while being deliberately excluded from a thing I wanted to participate in at work.

[nanila]

Oh, ouch. Well done for doing it, but very sorry it was necessary.
