I've got too much going on at the moment: work - and I may have to do two jobs for a while; school - failing; glass classes and I've just started the professional acceditation route to gaining membership of the Chartered Institute of Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development - should be easy but as we have an email deletion policy I've deleted most of the things that would be my evidence so it's going to be a bit of a pain (but not as bad as membership through the many courses route). Some people would juggle all this and still have time to play with... but I'm feeling pressured. So, I made up my mind while I was away that I'm not going to continue being at everyone's beck and call. That I will need to manage my time better if I'm going to remain sane. And I started as I mean to go on. As I had today off work to get over any jet lag I was determined to have a day doing MY things - sorting out my photos from NYC (not that many!) and doing a few design things to help my friend who is starting up a new business. But, some people don't get the message and the chair of governors from the school called me just as I walked in from the airport yesterday and, although I did speak to her I said I'd be busy over the next two days and would call her on thursday. But today she called again to say that she would be coming over because there are things we need to discuss. Don't get me wrong the things are important but they are not urgent... so I said NO. Now I feel guilty but I also feel that I've had a good day doing the things that I wanted to do before the world starts spinning again tomorrow. Smile.
