Fantastic. Can I borrow some of your energy? OMG!!!! Well done.

Sorry SW - no more energy left. First day at work today and now pretty wiped.

I went through four boxes of papers last night despite the "help" from my little friend:



Result:
- Half bin bag of paper for recycling
- Half bin bag of rubbish
- Three empty boxes for recycling
- Half box of paper for filing
- Small pile of papers for shredding
- 5 inch pile of papers to in tray for dealing
- One sudoku book rehomed to colleague
- Places found for the rest of the stuff

So aim for tonight was to start on the pile from my in tray but sooo pooped. Perhaps just need to get up bit earlier tomorrow to make a start with it. I seem to be better in the mornings.

I am tired too i might try to do some stuff today but just easy bits and then take tonight off. It was a tough day today but it ended well. Do have a cup of tea Marru.

As we "speak"

So I did sort through the pile in my in tray this morning. How long did it take? 5 minutes!!!! So I was putting it off last night because I thought it would be a huuuge task. Now it is much more managable as I actually know what is there. Stuff that needs paying is in one place. Stuff that I want to keep close at hand (not get lost in the filing pile) for information is in one place and the rest are neatly in plastic wallets back in the in tray. I should be able to quite easily start knocking them off now.

I haven't heard a beep about my job application. Perhaps I should email our HR tomorrow to ask if it actually got submitted ok. Oh and I have given order form to my boss for study materials for next exams, I have signed up for the exams (need to do expense claim to claim exam fees back) and have sent application to have exam days and couple of study days off from work. Courses start next week, I hope that our company gets that order form out soonish (it is a big house and things like that unfortunately don't happen in a flash )

This sounds really positive and blooming organised.

I think the key is to pace ourselves so we dont burn out. I am sorting out hangers - keeping wooden one's chucking out plastic ones. How's that for a chilling task? ~Am making a cup of Redbush tea first. Love it. Yum.
