Flex Time

Last night, we had an ice storm come through the area. Not much accumulation but enough to keep me off the roads this morning. I did a "time shift" today, I started work at 10:30 instead of 8:30 because I had to work with a client at 9pm ET. My boss is very serious about work/life balance, and I do have a tendency to put in a lot of hours. But I also have a tendency during the workday to not be super busy by choice. 

I feel like my brain works better after 3pm. I'm able to accomplish a lot more, and get more things done. Sometimes I will pound out 2 or 3 solid work hours after dinner. 

So I time shift all day long most every day. If I was running a timer on myself, 8 hour workday for sure, sometimes more, never less. It just happens all through the day. 

This morning the dogs woke me up a little before 8. Dahlia kept her panties on most of the night. Doug had gone to the guest room around 4, and she didn't notice he was gone until maybe 6am. Her panties came off as she shimmied off the bed, and she went to the guest room but didn't leave marks on the blankets. Perhaps we're winding down on this. 

But a little before 8am, on a day that I am time shifting, I was not too excited about getting up. 

Fed them, outside, new diaper on, back in bed by 8:15! 

We had an epic snuggle time, and I finally got up around 9:45 to do my steps. The dogs were especially playful and rowdy today, and in my 3pm meeting they decided to wrestle, on my couch, next to me. 

Busy work day, and I thought about going to the gym in the afternoon because my 4pm meeting was over very quickly. We needed groceries or something for dinner but I started digging into a spreadsheet and before I knew it, it was 6pm. So we opted for Chinese food. Geoff has tomorrow off, so he said he'll go to the market for us. Score. 

My 9pm meeting got rescheduled to next week, so I still continued to work to make up for the time that I flexed. Got a lot done. As usual. Doug had a documentary series about police in Devon and Cornwall England, and I wasn't really interested in it. He loves to watch these things. I find them repetitive and a little dull, but the scenery is pretty. There was an episode on the Scilly Islands, and I'd never heard of them. Gorgeous. The southwest of England looks like where I'd love to visit. 

Anyway.
