Since it's Friday I should probably be filling out the Friday Five like everyone else, is, but I'm not in the mood for that. Even though there are questions that I could answer, unlike all those crappy music questions that have popped up in past weeks.
In an hour and a half I'm leaving for the hospital. I just looked through the instructions they gave me last week, and discovered that I'm to remove all jewlrey, no big deal, I did that last night anyway. I'm supposed to have a shower, which is fine, though I don't really feel like it. I'm lazy, what can I say? And of course, I can't eat.
Of course, not eating is nothing new. I've not had a whole lot to eat for ages now. So really the surgery today is going to be fantastic. Tonight I'll be able to eat. Finally. But, I'm just so hungry now.
I'm not worried, I'm not nervous really. It's all going to be good. The only tiny worry I have is that once they get in there, they'll discover that they can't do it laproscopically and they'll need to go the conventional method which will require 6 weeks off work. I would go crazy with six weeks off work, not to mention that I'd have to file for bankruptcy.
Maybe I'll do the Friday Five anyway.
1. Would you consider yourself an organized person? Why or why not?
Other people would look at me and think that I was terribly unorganized. I tend to live in chaos and yet I still know exactly where everything is.
At work I need to have order, sometimes it's incredibly difficult to achieve that where I work now, but when I was in an office with a desk of my own that I could organize it was always, always neat and tidy. Though, there were days when there were 4 or so computers sitting on it, all in various stages of broken. But that wasn't messy except for all the cables...
2. Do you keep some type of planner, organizer, calendar, etc. with you, and do you use it regularly?
I have a calendar that hangs on the wall in my bedroom. I write when I'm working on there, and any appointments I have. That's all I need. I don't carry anything around with me to help me keep track of things. My work hours aren't normal, but they tend not to vary too much from week to week.
3. Would you say that your desk is organized right now?
Actually, right now it's more organized than it's been in ages, there are no dishes sitting on it, the DVD's are mostly stacked where they're supposed to be, and all the remote controls are... well, ok, they're spread out all over the place. I also have a stack of papers from the hospital that I was looking through earlier this morning. Once those are picked up everything will be fairly tidy.
4. Do you alphabetize CDs, books, and DVDs, or does it not matter?
My CD's are largely kept in alphabetical order, the ones that live in my car aren't, but then that would just be a little too excessive.
My books? They're sorted by type. Mass Market, Trade and Hardcover. Each format has their own shelf, and those books are arranged in alphabetical order, and then if part of a series in order of the series. Yes, it's compulsive, but I work in a bookstore, what else did you expect?
My DVD's aren't in any order in particular, except that I have the ones that come in the big boxy type packages (ala Harry Potter) all together, and the rest are just in whatever order I watched them last.
5. What's the hardest thing you've ever had to organize?
The kitchen! When my mom was away in April I went in there and rearraged the fridge, the freezer and this terrible cupboard that just had everthing thrown in at random. It didn't take a long time really, but I hate cleaning out cupboards.
So, there we have it. Wish me luck this afternoon!
