Weekly sharing of Goals! Week #43 2024 (Monday 10/28/24 - Sunday 11/03/24)
I welcome anyone to commit to a goal here today.
But importantly, talk about getting it done..... or why it didn't happen yet.
To praise each other for our efforts and wins.
While supporting each other through trials and setbacks.
And to continue trying and not give up.
Remember:
Every Goal should be considered "Worthy".
Never belittle your achievements and be proud of yourself for your daily accomplishments!
Whether they be Complex or Simple.
Getting out of bed is a good day..... Good job I say!
Share your goals today, for support and encouragement.

very funny, 😂🤣
@BlueDarkAurora
Thank you for posting this. I was very worried about her and didn't know something happened. 💚
@Tinywhisper11
@IsayUncle From what I understand she had to have another surgery 😞
@mytwistedsoul oh I thought it was about iams surgery, If she's having another surgery, I hope it goes well. I really hope her recovery is fully successful and she gets to do so many more art pieces. She really deserves to live the life of her dreams<3
@BlueDarkAurora She definitely does deserve to live the life of her dreams that's for sure. She's an amazing artist isn't she? 😊 I think that was bothering her the most, that she couldn't do her art as much ❤️
@mytwistedsoul <3 yes, she's so bright, she lights up the whole 7 cups ^-^
@BlueDarkAurora @IsayUncle @mytwistedsoul
Thankyou all ❤ I'm doing ok ❤🙂❤
@Tinywhisper11 so glad to see you back and doing okay <3
@IsayUncle

- Stay alive.
- Spend less time on ipad.
Monday 26 October 2024
Friday, Saturday and Sunday were very productive days for me as far as catching up on chores and neglected things around the house....I'm hoping I can carry that over into this week and keep the momentum.....
Some things I want to accomplish this week.....I bought my new planner....I want to start transitioning from digital calendars back to old school paper things....I will start to fill that out....
I am also thinking of going back to paper for my headache tracker but not sure how that will work based on the amount of time I have in the morning....I just click things in the app right now....going back to an actual log will mean having to write things out and my morning time before work is slim....I don't want to get up any earlier than I have to.....I have to think about that one....
Lastly, contemplate my sleep....I feel like I'm doing all the right things, preparation, etc etc etc that I read online for getting good sleep, but on work days, I just don't seem to sleep well at all....on days I'm not setting an alarm and can just wake at will, I seem to sleep fine through the night.....It must have something to do with my subconscious and work for sure...but pin pointing it down and finding a fix will be the challenge.....
I hope you all meet your goals this week.....keep on keepin on....
@CyclingThroughLife This might be a dumb idea but could you implement your new planner to keep track of your headaches too? I don't know how detailed you are in tracking them but maybe you could use a some sort of symbol to indicate a headache and a number for the severity?
Tracking headaches in my planner could work if I did it at sometime other than the morning...I get up at 3am and get to work at 4...I have a strict morning routine that really don't feel like changing....if that routine is off just by a little it seems my whole day is thrown off...but your idea is something to think about and try
@CyclingThroughLife I can really understand not wanting to change your routine in the morning because omg! Being off routine does throw everything off that's for sure, even 5 minutes can affect the whole day
Getting this report done that's three days late. Dealing with people who don't annotate that the patron is foreign so I'm having to fix the files by adding country codes. And people aren't bothering to notate what ID it is (driver's license, passport, etc.) or the expiration date (found one that expired two months ago) so I'm having to fix those. These are things I've brought up many times and it is agreed that making these distinctions should be done and then it's forgotten about.
Yet I get yelled at for not getting things done by zero hour. If people saved things the same way all the time it would help. Even the supervisors are inconsistent in how they save.
Also I hope to do three assignments this week and not get sick again because there's a wind advisory in effect.
@Enthenia I feel for you for all the nonsense you have to deal with at your job. Consistency is really important and would make everyone's job so much easier
@mytwistedsoul
Well I'm down to six accounts that I can't find any information on (reached out to another department to see if they can just find names and a b-day). Reentered the dates of 243 names and saved this time. Going to take a quick lunch soon and I think I'll ignore the daily ones I'm behind on so I can focus on the assignments. Since I have to do those every single day, they aren't as critical on those as the others.
If I can get two assignments done and started on the third, I should be back on track. Once this course is done, I think I'm finished for the year since there's a cap on maximum credits (& I'm there) so that should help although the stress from the courses aren't as bad as work.
So I had to do a report that I forgot which means I had to get on the VPN and do the background checks. Still have the names on the other report to do and I leave in an hour. Not going to get to my coursework again.
@Enthenia Oh wow! So many numbers and so much information my head would be buzzing. Were you able to get done before work ended? I would be stressed out over work too. I really commend you for putting up with it. I know with work we really don't have much choice - we have to work to pay bills and live. But holy moly it would be so frustrating.
@mytwistedsoul Three background reports weren't processed but they should be in my email in the morning. Once I get that done, I probably should do a few of the daily reports that I'm behind on
In the meantime, I can take a look at the JavaScript app and do a picture. Didn't do one yesterday (was trying to get the new directory working) so I need to do one now.
The goal for today was to get the fish tank cleaned. Which it's done woohoo! Took almost 5 hours and I don't think it should but there were a lot of side quests too lol
@mytwistedsoul
Woo Hooo Indeed! Aquariums are so cool but they take a lot of work. What size is yours, freshwater or saltwater. Freshwater I hope 😁... A little bit easier.
Either 1 is so nice, the fish are beautiful and they are really calming to watch.
Awesome job getting that done today. 👍
@IsayUncle It's a 30 gallon freshwater with fancy guppies. I've had it for years. Started out with just two guppies (got those from someone who weren't taking care of them - the tank was nasty) in a 10 gallon tank and they thrived! They're really friendly for fish lol
It's supposed to be relaxing - having a fish tank but cleaning it and making sure they're healthy is stressful 😅
Network is down at work so I can't do anything! This means I can work on my assignments!
@Enthenia Hey that's great! Do they know how long it will be down for? The Internet has been really spotty here there past two weeks. It's been irritating me to no end! I hope you can make some good progress on your assignments during this down time!
@mytwistedsoul it's back up. Came back and hour or so ago. I've done everything except the dailies so I'm still working on my assignment.
One of the supervisors for the other section came in at 4:30a. to try and get caught up. He could do nothing until about 8:30-9.
But apparently I missed a person on the $1M report so now I have to go back and forth between the folders and the 200+ names on the list to figure out who's missing....
@Enthenia Omgosh that supervisor must have been so frustrated to have to spend his early morning not being able to do what he came in early for! Which maybe he'll have a better understanding what so many of the employees deal with. I doubt it of course but it would be nice if experiences like that would teach them some form of lesson.
@mytwistedsoul oh he's one of the few that knows and they don't listen to him. He tried transferring once but they wouldn't let him.
I found the name. 30 to forty files later.
I've been working on the 6th assignment. Almost forgot to go to lunch because I was so focused. Got the extra tabs on the menu bar and figured out how to do a sub-menu. Trying to understand the JavaScript portion of the form I have to include on the site and reviewing some daily reports for one state. I'm like 18 days behind on that one.
@Enthenia Oh wow. So they pretty much treat every decent person like crap. That's crazy. And to not let him transfer? That's just - wow
@mytwistedsoul thanks. They can deny transfers. In his case, it would have made the department look bad because he does so much. I tried changing departments one but was rejected (which was fine because it was an overnight shift & I hadn't noticed that when I filled out the application).
Since there was no real way of knowing which folder was missing, I had to go down the list of names and check it with each folder. Lots of back and forth but there was no other way, really.
Think I got one assignment done. Looked at the instructions for the next one. Already found examples for it while I was looking for answers to the previous assignment. Just have to get caught up at work. Now only about ten days behind in one state and maybe 5 days in the other ones (can't open and save those while I'm trying to work my way through 1300 other spreadsheets).
@Enthenia Wow. The fact that they would deny someone's transfer because it would make them look bad (smh) They would be up a creek without a paddle if people decided they had enough and just walked out. I know that right now it's not a good idea to walk off a job but it's still fun to dream about :)
@mytwistedsoul it would be so much easier if IT consolidated them into one report like they did with the other one. It used to be 130 a day for one state. Or maybe it was 130 altogether. I don't know. I just have to look at a lot and 90% are blank.
And when I felt okay about getting the majority of my reports saved up until yesterday and started to focus on understanding my next assignment, I glance at my email and find one supervisor is asking about a random one that was assigned to me & I forgot about. Working on it now.
Think we get our annual reviews next month. I hope they don't tell me to focus better. If I wasn't focused, I couldn't do all that I have to do every single day.
So I spent most of the day trying to to figure out why a section on the webpage wasn't changing the text when I entered text into a text box only to discover it was supposed to be like that (would only change once you hit the submit button). I could have used that time to work on the next assignment.
Still thirteen days behind at work. Somehow have to get caught up with that and get two more assignments done tomorrow. Actually almost done with a day. Had to force Xcel to close twice (once was low memory even though it wasn't. Computer just thought files were still open. The second time was because print is too close to open when you right-click.).
And I forgot that I can't save JavaScript files with the js file extension because then the email won't send. Remembered that when I got home and checked my email but found no email.
Tomorrow is going to be quite long...
But I got my lease renewal invite so I don't have to worry about moving anytime soon (they're forcing people who have lived there a long time out so they can upgrade the apartments and charge more).
@IsayUncle gooooood morning uncle John ❤ goodmorning everyone ❤❤
