Get in with a nagging feeling that no matter how much I do today, it won’t be enough.
- Pass by several members of our localisation team moving across the courtyard to the other building we take offices in. Realise this is a prime chance to get footage for our ‘Year at NCE’ Documentary, and send Chris to tape them moving.
- Check the thread I posted yesterday about the MiniCon; there are 37 responses and lots of questions, so I start to answer. It takes a while so I have to be short.
- Get email from Andrew Wildman pointing me to Doug Braithwaite’s sketchbook contribution. It’s great.
- Concerned that I’ll forget important stuff, I scribble down the six or so things I need to do today…
- … and then run off to a local coffee shop for some extensive brainstorming of the MiniCon. We talk for about 90 minutes, and then I have to return to the office to get anti-cold drugs in my system.
- Lunch is soup at my desk and movie trailers.
- I have five pages of notes from the MiniCon chat that I need to get into a Word .doc, so I type fast.
- Two pages into it, I get an email with questions for our interview with Titan Gaming Radio at 3pm. I try to read them over but I’ve got to keep going.
- To my surprise, the .doc’s done by 2:30. Chris and I puzzle a bit over TaskForce: Omega requirements and potential prizes.
- 3pm – sit down for a 90 minute chat with Titan Gaming Radio, which is pleasant enough.
- Get back to my desk and realise I’ve done none of my to-dos, and I have an urgent email requiring me to brief an artist… right now.
- Get the brief done by 5:30 or so, but still end up in the office at 7pm. Strike five out of six to-dos off the list.
Still can’t believe I have to go to Birmingham tomorrow. No offence to Birmingham; just such short notice.
