Have gotten quite a bit of work done this week but am paying for it with "stress anxiety". I advised a couple of people this morning that I am experiencing this chest-tightening anxiety and that I plan to avoid, in the futre, the activities which have caused it.

People who don't meet deadlines for monthly reports are so overly dramatic at deadline time, and they get incensed when you suggest they need to learn to manage their time better, especially since reminders are sent to them weekly two weeks in advance of deadline.

I've done my last "extension". Next month (which I plan to be my last month on a specific report), the report will be done when I need it to be done WITHOUT worrying about folks who can't meet the deadline. Period.

Good for you! What will happen if it is late and you refuse to do it? Will they have to take care of it?

A stink will ensue, because I will notate at the top of the report that specific reports were NOT submitted in accordance with deadline.

Is it possible for you to remind people,. as you approach the deadline, that you will no longer accept late work? Just this once since it will be the first time.

Good for you, Ron.

Just listening to Pick-Up Artist for the first time. It's beautiful.

John G. · « **Reply #98 on:** February 03, 2016, 01:20:20 PM »

Speaking of beautiful things, Patrick Bronstein Presents qualifies in that category. There are some great laughs in the book, but it also has a great reverence for the past that makes it a rich read, too.

This morning, when I got to City Center, I rode the elevator with Ruben Santiago-Hudson, who's directing Cabin in the sky. I really like him; he's quite a nice man. When i met him, I told him I missed him on CASTLE; he said he missed the money.

I have enjoyed his work in the past, especially Honeydripper and Lackawanna Blues, which he also wrote.

DR Jennifer here is a bookmark for you collection.

I like that the bookmark is flat. I have seen similar ones that are really thick (the part that is in the book).

Nice bookmarks.

DR RLP that sounds like a great plan. Stick to it.

I noticed that. These make me wish I still used/collected bookmarks.

12 mile bike ride completed - all is well with the world

I didn't even walk today. I will take the neighbor's dog later, but only because I said I would.

Last night I began the Inspector Lynley Mysteries. I like Nathaniel Parker; he was Bassanio in the Peter Hall-Dustin Hoffman production of The Merchant of Venice. He was on Broadway last year in Wolf Hall, which I wish I'd seen.

Jane · « **Reply #112 on:** February 03, 2016, 03:15:35 PM »

Do you like it? I read most of the books until they took a different, and not enjoyable, direction.

Jane · « **Reply #113 on:** February 03, 2016, 03:17:36 PM »

In the books Barbara Havers is not attractive, dresses terribly and is a bit of a mess

Back from a fun lunch with Juliana Hansen, then a nice visit from Richard Sherman.

Jane · « **Reply #115 on:** February 03, 2016, 03:58:54 PM »

It is time to walk the dog, only I can barely stay awake. I haven't slept in 3 nights.

I will make it clear on the weekly reminders that the deadline is absolute.

Daylight here is waning.

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #118 on:** February 03, 2016, 04:19:15 PM »

Today is the last day that the sun sets after 6 p.m. in the winter, so I've read.

Is this the final post of page 4?
