Busy Busy

Sorry I haven’t posted at all today. I’ve been really busy with work stuff – I’m rarely “swamped”, but today I truly am. Mr. Russell is trying to start this new cold-calling initiative and I’m still doing research for it. Turns out that he wasn’t clear enough in his directive because about 2/3rds of the stuff that I’ve found thus far was not needed. So basically I could have been done with this project in two days instead of six. NOT happy about that and am a little perturbed that he wasn’t more clear in his direction.

Besides that I’ve also been working on his expense report and other minor issues, as well as travel for Mr. Sutherland next week. Plus I’m covering reception for an hour starting at 4 p.m. so I’m trying to get everything done before I have to go there.

Can’t wait for the day to be over – my brain is sick and tired of sifting through dozens and dozens of online 10-Ks, finance websites, corporate websites and Hoovers.com.

Another Busy Day

Busy Busy!

Busy morning at work despite Mr. Russell not being around. I have been doing things for Mr. Sutherland (two presentations) as well as binding 15 books for Mr. Russell’s Monday meeting. I also did final revisions to the brochure and emailed that off to the printer about an hour ago.

My to-do list suddenly got nice and small:

1) Get Mr. Sutherland’s polycom phone to work
2) See if I can get network access to Mr. Russell’s Palm Desktop software
3) Create color coordinated labels/folders for Mr. Russell’s file cabinets (all of two drawers)

That’s it. Nice…

Rough Day

All About CootieMom

Busy Busy!

Yesterday was a busy day. I took the day off not only for my doctor appointment but because it was the day after my birthday. After my appointment late in the morning, my mom (who is visiting) and I drove over to JC Penney to pick up some new towels for Denis’ bathroom (which I’m redecorating because it’s U-G-L-Y). It was a busy however, when they didn’t have the types of towels I wanted. We came home and chilled over some lunch and Days of Our Lives, then I left to meet Denis for an afternoon movie. Mom stayed home for some CootieGirl quality time.

Denis and I saw “Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban”, which I enjoyed. It seemed like a glossed-over version of the book, which was pretty intense and detailed, but I felt it was still pretty faithful to the book and was never boring. PoA is my favorite of the five HP books, so I was concerned I would be disappointed, but I wasn’t. Those kids sure are growing up – and they better get a move on with the fourth movie before they outgrow the roles!

Then last night after some dinner, which Denis was out taking care of work stuff, Mom and I settled in to watch “Lorna Doone”. I was tired, but managed to stay awake and really enjoyed it. It’s part of the whole A&E movie series that Denis bought for me from Costco a few months back. The set of DVDs came with 5-6 miniseries made by A&E, and this one was worthy of being alongside “Pride & Prejudice” (mmmm…Colin Firth).

This morning I’m back at work, doing my thing. Surprisingly, I’m not swamped – I thought I’d come in to a desk covered in requests, but it’s been surprisingly light, and one of my bosses is leaving at 12:30 p.m. for the rest of the day. Nice….

Busted…and More

    I beleive that they have already started shooting the 4th movie that is due out Nov. 2005 and the 5th book is due out June of 2007. No mention yet if the entire cast and characters have signed on for the 5th movie, but everyone is back with a few additions for the 4th movie. Which is my favorite of all the books. Namely because they bring back Mertle and Doby.

    For some good Colin Firth stuff get What a Girl Wants. I watched it this weekend and it was cheesy-cute in that teen movie kind of way. But it’s Colin in all of his brooding glory and there’s one scene with him in black leather pants that’s HILARIOUS.

    I remember reading the book when I was very young… I might just have to borrow your DVD’s to watch it now too
