The biggest effect good ol’ Daylight Savings Time has had on me is that the day now flies by.  I got home from work, ate dinner and all of a sudden it’s bedtime.  Maybe my internal clock is more messed up than I realized.

This morning just started off badly.  I was out of the house by about ten after eight and that normally would have put me into work by a little after 8:30, which is pretty much on time.  Except I sat in traffic for 25 minutes trying to get on the highway.  And there was no rhyme or reason for the traffic – no accident, no road work, just people acting retarded, as if they don’t have anywhere to be on a Monday.  So my normal 20 minute drive turned into a 50 minute drive and put me into work a little after nine.

Was. not. happy!

That is the latest I have started off in a few weeks and it completely and totally threw me off for the rest of the day.

Aside from the fact that an important deadline for one of my projects snuck up on me for Wednesday.  This is one of the projects that has just been thrown to the wayside for the huge debit card issues that I have been working on pretty much 24/7 since November.  And that card project required a lot of immediate attention today as well so I was swamped all day, which didn’t improve the frustrated mood that I came in to work with.

So there wasn’t much I did today except plowed through work.

Steve texted me a picture of the bridge around noon.  Lucky guy was out fishing at lunch on such a beautiful day!  I later asked him what we were having for dinner because I was in no mood for the planning and preparation of food, so he offered to pick up cheesesteaks.  Not the healthiest choice but by the time I got home, I didn’t care.

I did get a chance to book the hotel for our trip to Charlotte in April and make a few phone calls to family members I hadn’t spoken to in awhile.  There still is no food in my house and no list in sight of what I need.  There’s still about six loads of laundry piled onto my couch waiting to be folded.   There’s still dust bunnies floating around my floors (the curses of laminate).

But at this point, I’m going to slack a little bit longer.  Hopefully things will settle down at work enough to allow me not feel so overwhelmed and go back to that balance I was talking about last month.

Doubt it though – tomorrow, I have to get my blood drawn, then have a meeting at nine and have about six fairly intensive tasks sitting in my queue, waiting to be worked – and that’s not including the normal daily tasks that need to be looked at when I get in.

Now, more than ever, it seems like there’s not enough time in the day!
