Morning! I’ve got an early blood test so I’m off out in a short while. Today’s main task is to work on a fellowship application to run by my manager when she gets back tomorrow. What’s your main task for today?

@purplepadma #today I should catch up on a bunch of admin (mainly minor things)...

@DamonHD I’ve just looked in my inbox and there is literally nothing new other than an all staff email about nothing that’s relevant to me, glad there was nothing scary lurking

@purplepadma Could you do all my stuff for me please? Such as a meeting that I'm meant to be organising in a couple of weeks for which I don't yet have speakers ... or a meeting room ... or the mailing list of members ...

@DamonHD Thanks for thinking of me, but I am afraid I am going to have to decline

@purplepadma But ... opportunity ... exposure ... fame ... ?

@DamonHD I’m afraid I don’t have the capacity to undertake that, but I wish you well with it (can you tell I have been practising saying no nicely?)

@purplepadma Argh, I don't have the capacity either, but I've kinda sorta done the first two items on my urgent-ish list. The next one needs some thinking though, so more coffeeeeeeeeee...

@purplepadma And I decided that the third thing doesn't need doing for a year, probably, so is that done, or cheating? Anyhow, I let myself off.

@purplepadma Start new contract and get BT Business to fix their bait and switch that sees them charging me almost 3x the amount monthly I agreed to in the contract

@rgarner @purplepadma good luck with BT - hope you can actually speak to someone helpful. I never could

@Parami @purplepadma got a decent guy, I think, and he left me his email

@purplepadma Good morning, I hope that the blood test goes well and that you have a great day. My main task is to get my cherubs through a hectic final term. Everything must be finished by the end of March, this will determine whether they pass or fail as well as give them their final grade.

@purplepadma Good luck with the blood test. I have no idea what my main task is yet

@purplepadma if I can get vaguely back in a work mode today I'll count that as a win!

@purplepadma

My main task is getting Best Beloved to the health centre for a B12 booster jab.

Then, my next task is to remember what the feck I was doing before Christmas. 🤔

@snaptophobic Ah yes, same. I was working on a literature review iirc

@purplepadma first day back, so catching up on mail, and making sure there's nothing missing for the new students starting this term.

@lnr I’ve just opened my inbox and there is almost nothing in there because everyone else has been on leave too!

@purplepadma I've got loads from computers :) Thankfully not too much that needs any action!

@purplepadma I'm painting magnets this morning. I'll see how long I can stay in the office with the heater on. But I do have washing up to do and ski jumping to watch this afternoon.

Hope your day goes well =)

@Vampykitten Bah, I have washing up to do as well

@purplepadma it's a pain, but needs doing and I can put on my earbuds and rock it out =)

@purplepadma hope the blood tests go well.
I have two biggish tasks:
A conversation (online) to start some mediation I have been asked to facilitate
Then
A meeting about this year’s classes at the Buddhist centre where I am chair of the trustees

And a wee fun task - organising meeting for the burns supper we’re running in a couple of weeks.

@purplepadma I won’t be bored, that’s for sure 🤣

@purplepadma I haven't switched on my work laptop yet, so whatever is waiting for me there!
