The One Goal Thread

Quote From star-shaped:

Oh dear Lindalou, I don't know how you managed to work at all with a hangover! I'm not hungover but had half a bottle of wine last night so slept in later than I'd have liked (as I have been doing for all of the Easter holidays).

Goal number 1 is to get dinner in the slow cooker. Goal number 2 is to write 500 words.
I didn't make my writing goal yesterday afternoon because the stuff I am writing up was confusing me :$

My mother in law has just informed me that she has invited OUR friends to a party she has having next weekend. a) surely its our job to invite OUR friends and b) we wanted to go for an hour or so and make a quick exit, now we're going to have to hang around :-s kill me

HA I've just invited my whole department - that'll learn her. Maybe I should organise a flash mob.

Anyone wanna come? (turkey)(turkey)

well everyone.. my thesis hand in deadline should be tomorrow.. but my sup has still not got back to me.. so i cant hand it in tomorrow. I still need his corrections .. im really down these last few days :-( and i'm sick of being in the house.. look its sunny outside

go outside and enjoy yourself for an hour :-)

I've spend the last hour being annoyed with mother in law and watching Glee clips on youtube.

I got 1 analysis done. I'm going to get through another one before lunch.

It really is a glorious day 8-)

Goal 1: read 2nd expt option at home

Goal 2: compare expt options 1 & 2 and make decision at home

Goal 3: get to the office

Goal 4: find lab people

Goal 6: start amending lit review to include all new decisions made (this one will probably take a few days)

I guess I've got a lot on today then!! The plan is to work 12-2 from home. Get to the office by 2.30 then work til 8. I really need to get going earlier in the mornings but I tend to slip into these late working patterns which mean less time with bf and dog in the evenings :-(

Good luck every one - wishing you all a productive day (up)

Humph.
After 3 good(ish) days I woke up this morning with an overwhelming sense of ennui.
Have only done 2 tomatoes so far despite getting up at 8.30.
:-( Don't you hate it when you're just tired of it, stressed with it, and basically just fed up! But I need to work. Must work. Oh dear - starting to feel really sad now.

Okay.
Goal one: read and make notes on 50 pages of a book

Oh dear, people seem to be struggling with motivation today. Come on, you can do it!

I decided not to start off my morning with my writing, and instead wrote out an application for a practicum, as the deadline is Monday. This is now done.

Now on with my writing. As usual, I'll see if I can get 500 words out and see where I'm up to.

not getting anywhere, going tohave an early lunch, dog walk and get to it after lunch!

A

Right well.. i think i feel a bit better after eating and having coffe since my moan .. but still i'll be glad when this is done
i just finished editing my intro.. now on to methods

A

I have finished editing my Methods, basically because i have done it before but i am transferring everything to a new document and i just had a few things to correct there... Next its Chapter 3

A

Right Chapter 4 next

Wow Amanda, you've done loads. I've had a nap :p :$ I remembered that I went to bed at 1am last night and got up at 6am which is why I'm so sleepy - not because I was up partying away, my husband needed a lift from the station after work drinks :-s So i've pretty much wasted today. I do feel a lot better after the nap though!

I want to finish off the analysis I'm half way through and then do another full one before tonight, which will be tricky because I really want to watch the leaders debate.

Oh well I will try!

A

Well Sneaks we all need a nap now and then ...
I made the wrong decision at 3.00 o'clock and i started to cook ...BAD IDEA... i just finished washing up now!!!!!... i made fish cake from scratch !!.. WHY oh WHY did i decide to do that.. i used like 10 plates..bread crums all over the place.. some of the fish cakes turned out soggy and the other fell apart.. forgot to mention that i must have thought that 10 people were gonna eat with me!!!..... Anyway ... three of them turned out ok at least.

I think i should get back to my work now.. :-s
