Working Towards a Goal

I decided this week that in order to take Friday off, I would work 4–ten hour days. This is difficult since I’m not a morning person. However, in order to get 10 hours of work in, I can’t come in *too* late.

Thankfully, the idea of Friday off without having to take vacation has been enough motivation to get out of bed. Also, with Gary out of town this week, I’ve been going to bed early, which has helped with not being overly sleepy in the morning.

So far, so good. Yesterday I made it in at 7:15 and today at 7:30. I think my co-workers and employees are having fun with this. They don’t usually see me this early, so everyone has a comment for me.

Unfortunately I do see a trend in these two days – slowly getting later. Tomorrow I need to make it by 7:00 so I can leave at 5:00 (skipping lunch, if you are doing the math). I think I can do it, since needing to leave at 5:00 will increase my motivation to get out of bed. :-) I’m headed to dinner and a play with Liz tomorrow night, which I am looking forward to.

Anyway, I’m proud of my little accomplishment. :-)

I also thought that the workday would really drag on, but yesterday went quite fast and today is going pretty quickly so far also. We’ll see how the next two days go.
