catching up

My second Saturday working with New Hire 2 also went well. I really hope she chooses to stay. :)

I also managed to stay on top of all the move-in inspection projects. I will edit my list of people who haven't turned in their forms one more time Monday morning (based on what people shove through the drop slot while we're closed), and then send out a mass reminder email.

My other Monday project is the NYSEG forms, which is mostly just tedious.

I do also need to make more floor plan printouts for when we start doing apartment tours in September, but I physically can't do that right now since we're out of the relevant reams of colored paper. I should remind Mom Boss to order them, if she hasn't already. I did write up a supply wishlist a couple weeks ago, but that may have gotten lost in the general office chaos.

Tonight I boiled some eggs and baked some brownies for church coffee hour tomorrow morning. I have also done a bunch of preliminary setup for laundry -- pulling out my drying racks, opening my laundry cart and lining it with my laundry bag, setting my detergent and dryer sheets on the front table, dumping all the darks into the cart, etc. -- since I've found that I'm much more likely to start doing laundry at a reasonable time if I remove as many steps as possible between deciding "now let's do laundry!" and physically walking out the door, and I can do the setup steps piecemeal as they occur to me over the course of an evening.

I spent a long time being repeatedly annoyed at myself for not being able to reliably jumpstart the "do laundry" chore, but it turns out it's both much more productive and much less stressful to work around brain glitches than to keep bashing into them headfirst. *wry*
