elanya at 10:42am on 26/01/2014 under academics, food, otw, personal organization, tag wranglingSorta chilling, anyway, I actually have a lot of of stuff to do today!
First things first - yesterday I was officially added to the Tag Wrangling Staff for the Organization for Transformative Works. This is a volunteer commitment I have taken on and I am just in the process of learning what my duties are gong to be. It is a fairly large staff, though with a large number of new members, and I am hoping this will lead to an even distribution of work. Still, they say that it is about a five hour a week on average (meaning some weeks more, some weeks less) commitment. So that if going to take up a lot of time I have for other things, mostly writing, I suspect. I am actually hoping that having outside-of-work responsibilities again will help me keep on top of other responsibilities and generally encourage me to be a Responsible Adult.
Speaking of Being a Responsible Adult, I got the proof back of my dissertation and, as I suspected, I really need it in colour. So I am going to print three copies of the colour version once I get paid for February, and send them to - the AMMC, The National Archives of the Bahamas, and The Harbour Island Library. I will contact all the people who helped me and offer them digital colour downloads, possibly via the university library's link.
I still need to start working on seriously producing stuff from my dissertation as well, and I need a plan to do so. I can't decide if "spend a little bit of time every day" versus "take one or two days a week to dedicate a larger block of time" is going to be a better approach, but I may not be able to gauge that until I have a better handle on my Tag Staff responsibilities. I think the first staff meeting is next weekend, though, so hopefully that won't be too long. We'll see!
I have a bunch of stuff I need to do today, which I'll list here for my convenience:
make chili
laundry
make dinner (pizza and garlic fingers :3)
game
I have a bunch of things that I should do today:
look through staff orientation information and make sure I'm getting everything set up the way I need to
(I'm actually trying not to get distracted by that atm)
Things I would like to do today:
work on my Diablotin Space AU
work on my knitting
make a post about influential books
Things I would like to do In General That I May Do Today:
make a post/list breaking down things I have that are actual responsibilities versus goals I have set myself
work on my LARP for Webercon (this needs doing but it not essential at this point)
I should be able to do all of these things! I do have another post to make first though...
