I’ve just received an email reminder re a webinar starting at 15.00. This is interesting as I’ve got it in my calendar as 16.00 and my blog post at 15.00. But I’ve double-booked in any case because at 16.00 I’ll be visiting my osteopath. I’m pretty hopeful I will be able to access it in recorded form some time later.
Mind you I’m also expecting a phone call at 15.00 and I have to hope it’s not too much later because of travel time to my osteopathy appointment. All done – all sorted except my inability to remember my own calendar led to an email to follow the call to correct the timing of a future action. Doh…
So, so far, of my hour set aside for my blog (which generally is not quite enough) I started five minutes late, had a ten minute phone call and I’ve got to go out at 15.30 – which is about now.
So I get back just in time to refresh the webinar screen and get the ‘how was it’ questionnaire. Good timing or not…
I have had a client meeting regarding quite a sophisticated set of accounts with some challenging issues (of an accounting nature rather than real world) and spent rather too long ping-ponging emails regarding Companies House information for a client between said client and Lorraine. In terms of “client” time pretty good going so why does it feel like I’ve not done any “real” work???
It’s just another of those ‘is it me?’ sensations that I get on an all too regular basis. If my back and neck aren’t sore from typing, have I done anything that feels like work today?
Especially as I’ve a set of accounts to construct for one of my charity cases (actually was an Industrial & Provident Society until the recent law change but they work more or less the same in most ways in smaller cases) that is proper roll-the-sleeves-up try and remember which is the debit and which the credit accounting!
Deadlines for pro bono work is always an interesting “issue”. Just because you’re not getting paid to do it doesn’t mean you can do it when you like. Were that the world was that straightforward…
It’s been a networking-and-a-half week – three breakfasts (one tomorrow), one lunch and an evening do. Add a 200 mile round trip on Monday with some pretty intense work activity at the destination and the week seems to have flown by. Mind you, got fed there so a quick photo and I give said client a quick plug on Instagram – almost fifty likes on my private account, not a shade on the business one which attracts around ten times that level of engagement but I’m happy, even if half the likes are from my IG community in St Petersburg and Sochi.
Bizarre but true.
Do they have an inordinate amount of free time on their hands? Is there some strange shadowy reason for all the follows? Is the KGB orchestrating these follows? Has Vlad himself ordered them to keep an eye on me? And, if so, why the private one and not the business one (which seems to be populated by rather a lot of Americans)?
Just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean they’re NOT out to get you.
