Jerry Takes Initiative - gets big raise too
January 10, 2002
Seeing how nobody is updating as usual, I’ll spearhead the whole Update Your Damn Page campaign. It’s better than working in those stupid company United Way campaigns.
I am feeling very good about myself today because since my return from the merry land of non-differentiated R’s and L’s, I’ve accomplished about 85% of my To Do List which piled into the 20’s (it usually never gets past 10). I’ve even caught up with, and kept up with, all my classes. That’s a milestone! Into the second week and I’m STILL caught up! Woohoo. All my classes have webpages which is weird. Usually some old crank instructor doesn’t know the difference between a web page and a wet blanket. Even more weird is that I only bought 1 measly $100 book instead of the usual $500 total. Thanks to Andrew for the Access book (it’s quite beat up for some reason).
I was negatively rich after my trip so I wanted to work extra hours to make up for the lavish living. I thought I would have to kiss serious ass for grunt chores like washing the work elephant and giraffe or tiling the mausoleum, but luckily, 2 new programs started and I’ve been instantly swamped with work (including tiling the mausoleum). This just means that my day will be super productive.
I’m getting about 6 hours of sleep a day now and accomplishing probably 14 hours of productive work but by the later hours, it really kicks in. This is only the third day too. How do some people manage to do this for months on end? Drugs perhaps. It’ll ease down a little by shifting productive hours into sleeping hours soon. YES!
I love Eri, pass it on.
