Last night I tried to watch the Logies (Australian T.V awards). I like to see who wins the best new talent which is near the start of the show. I also like to see who wins the best Sports Show which is near the middle of the show and I also like to see who wins the Gold Logie which is right at the end. I couldn’t keep awake until the end, so I video-ed it.
I am not a huge t.v watcher but I do find it interesting to see the stars with their hair down.
Today I had to take the work car in to replace a battery and though it was meant to take 5 minutes it ended up being 1 hour. All my work was in the car, so I had to read the women’s magazines. The interesting thing was about Michael Parkinson. He gave up drinking when his wife told him “you’re unattractive when you drink”. As a result he is still interviewing at 71 and they are still happily married.
About my day--Work has been really busy lately. I started first thing with a necessary, but difficult letter that I was going to hand deliver to a client this morning. This was to reinforce a conversation I had with them last week. They are making good progress, but I had to have the conversation and write the letter to reinforce the point. I finished the letter and then (as our computer network was down) had to read a 3 page letter to my supervisor to double check this. Then I tried to print it out. We had enormous problems and what should have been so simple took 1 hour plus. I was running late, then I jumped in the work car and guess what? (flat battery). Another half an hour went by and finally the RACV came (work-safe prohibits us from jump-starting it ourselves). Finally I was on the road, but couldn't get hold of my client. AFter another visit, I got a call from the Office Manager to ask if I could take the car to our dealer for a 5 minute battery change over. I didn't bother to take any work in, but an hour plus later, I was well versed on the women's magazines.
So, lots of curve balls as far as making progess on the work goes.

Sounds like you - or rather other influences - wasted your time today.
Can you bank your time? If so are you now in the red or the black?
Sounds like you are busy getting in touch with your feminine side. Now all you have to do is decide Max Factor, Maybelline or Revlon.
