Totally swamped am I.

I manage about 8 people - two are moving under a different co-worker, once I give her the info she needs to make the transition. Two belong to editorial, but work with me. Three are my directs outright, but I'm learning about what they do & that's going a bit slow.

In addition to trying to be available to 8, 9+ people, I'm working on a new programming plan - which I've come to discover, that folks have been working on already. So I'm kinda sorta accumulating information that will inform the plan. If you're envisioning needles in haystacks, you're getting there.

These tasks have consumed my head & are now in a bit of a tangle. My boss has let me know that he wants to help with the untangling & so we've got a plan for this week. I hope it works.

Additionally, few new pics, because I got spyware on the computer I use at home to load images to the site. I did toss what I have into the original gallery I created, here:



I'm reading I, Claudius - the Robert Graves novel - Just got Heart of Darkness as prep for reading Chinua Achebe's rebuttal work - There's more in the library - books topped my list of gifts from the holiday season.

Oh! and we got a pressure cooker, crockpot & books on how to ease on up to a vegetarian existance. It's good, but if you lived with me you'd only see the work concerns. I mean, I am obsessed!!

More to come...

    Cool - do you know about the fig thing? I love spoilers & I've heard something about Livia and painted figs...

    I think after I read the book, I'll rent the dvd. Have you seen it? I remember it, vaguely, as wallpaper in my way younger days.
