Posts Tagged to-do
Thurs.
So insanely dog tired. Like a crazy dog that’s run after its tail for too long.
Today was pretty busy. It can be best summarised by the near-three hours that we had to take just to figure out what we had left to do for the Omega Sektor MiniCon, which is in just one week. The resulting to-do list is so long, even grouping them by type of to-do list makes it look big. It’s big, anyway.
I’ve said before – the size of what we’re trying to accomplish in the six weeks we’ve had, is normally something we’d plan for six months. The only reason this is moving forward at all is that we’ve done quite a few of these now, and have learnt, repeatedly, by experience. I’m pretty sure it’ll all be worth it… but it’s going to be a long road.
Uh, what else today. Oh yeah, our iMacs still aren’t ready. Grrrr. Next week. I took some comparison pics of my current keyboard with the new Mac one. It’s so… absurdly small it’s hilarious. It may in fact be too small. We’ll see.
Also… ummm… eh, not much. There was an amusing conversation involving Ms. Liberty’s costume, but sadly I’m not at liberty to divulge.
Now… sleep. Perchance, to dream.
The day after the last one
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.
You said what?
