Phoned and a booked wheelchair taxi for next week;

Phoned to organise an extension on an important Life Admin form;

Phoned bank A to cancel paper statements;

Phoned bank B to cancel paper statements;

Phoned bank C to cancel paper statements and to find out about closing a bank account;

Phoned re a life administration matter;

Then when I thought I was completely done with phone calls for the day, and was lying in bed relaxing and reading a book at 4:09PM, I RECEIVED an extremely stressful and utterly-unexpected phone call about my National Disability Insurance Scheme application out of the blue. I managed to convey the necessary information, and to ask the caller some important questions. I was shaking and distressed afterwards though. :(

[nanila]

Oh no. :( I'm sorry, that last bit is terrible. Well done for dealing with it.

Helped a young researcher make progress on a grant application.

Go you! Grant applications are such horrid things.

one email box has only 4 messages in it! And i made progress on the next one. Which means I dealt with >100 emails that needed reading and thinking about, about 1/3 of which needed some action beyond 'and then file'.

[nanila]

Amazing. Well done on achieving this monumental task.

Didn't swear when confronted, yet again, with one of the less supremely important but still aggravating reasons why we need a more diverse cast at my workplace.

[nanila]

Good work on exercising restraint, and filing this away as further evidence.

Made it home very sick from work with my dignity mostly intact.

[nanila]

Eep. I hope you have some time to recover now.

I slept most of the afternoon, woke up long enough to have a mug of broth, then slept the whole night.

[nanila]

Mmm, sleeeeeeep. *thumbsup*
