Given that it was 19º when I left the house to hit the market & Starbucks, those temps are just rocketing up!! My heavy winter coat did it's job wonderfully this morning. We'll get up to freezing if we're lucky today, but we do have very clear and sunny skies, so that's something - hopefully the sun will be enough to get the ice melt going on the couple spots I had to hit on the driveway this morning. 😬
How cold is it? Really freakin' cold!
I saw people out exercising this morning. Good for y'all! And also, oh no baby, what are you doing? It's so cold out, your boogers are gonna freeze! But I will admit, even though I was only out and about for a few minutes, that it does make the inside feel SOOOOOO wonderfully warm when you get back in.
Gotta brag on myself for a moment - yesterday I got my house stuff done and office stuff done and didn't use either as a procrastination device for the other! I also got two nice clear examples of the app I'm working on being all squirrely for my dev to look at on Monday, woohoo!
Speaking of office work, I saw that "knowledge workers average about 3 hours of productive work a day" bit bouncing around again this week - I did more digging on it, and it's still not totally clear to me if folks are running out of shit to do, or are running out of brainpower - but it seems more the brainpower side of things. Where the fuck are these 3 hour jobs?? I average between 1-2 hours of admin time/non-lunch-breaks over a day and I am full tilt the rest of the time, and honestly, if I eased up on that, I'm pretty sure my ass would be fired. It does explain why I'm usually mentally fried by the end of the day. (Oh, and in support? We had to be ON all 8 hours - and they wonder why there is burnout.)
And on a productivity note, it's time to go tackle the house stuff so I can enjoy the remains of the weekend. Only one "Ugh, do I *have* to?" on the list, and that is cleaning Lily's water fountain. It needs to be hand washed, which isn't hard, but even with an anti-fatigue mat at the sink, my body HATES standing still like that. But - anything for the LilyMonster. 🥰
Have a fantastic day, and STAY WARM!
