I work on a brand new layout for our coming titles
I answer questions about our bookkeeping
I supply inventory to our worldwide stocks
I write two contracts from scratch and hand them over to the TheBoss for his signature
I support my new – and great! – colleague
I reboot my computer several times and try to alleviate power problems by sorting old emails
I write J-Man a note that I won’t be able to supply him with more info today
J-Man: What are you working on that takes up all your time?
I break down in tears and want to call him. The conversation would have been something like this:
FridayNext: It’s too much for me!
J-Man: What is?
FridayNext: All those tasks and I feel so alone.
J-Man: You just take one task at a time.
FridayNext: I know. But I was born to multi-task and I can’t focus on only one thing at a time.
J-Man: You need to take a deep breath.
FridayNext: I love you so much.
J-Man: *keeps quiet until I hang up*
Instead I stay mature on email, tell him that I’m busy with various tasks and that I may feel a bit burnt out. What he says in reality is:
J-Man: I got a new Mac. It’s faster than speed of light.
FridayNext: Send me a picture. I want to see it!
Bizarrely enough he does and I admire it and mail him that I can definitely understand if he’s head over heels at the moment. What I don’t write is that I don’t understand how come he’s not head over heels with me.
At the end of the working day, UniCorn texts me several times and life feels okay for a brief second. And then I spend time with my bike and life is put on hold for a bit.
InBox: Something’s wrong.
Matt: Everything’s fine here.
InBox: I have received some strange emails.
Matt: I doubt they’re from her. She’s hanging out with me most of the time.
InBox: I don’t think the mails are from her.
Matt: Perhaps he’s been chatting online on his laptop at home.
Silence
InBox & Matt in UniSon: *bursting from laughter*
InBox: Hey, good one! J-Man and chatting in the same sentence!
Matt: Thanks. It just popped out!
The kitchen is a mess, but according to Spidey the Chef that’s the price for cooking up new dishes. These are the faves so far:
Chocolate Sandwich:
White toast
Smear a thick layer of butter
Smear a thick layer of runny milk chocolate
White toast
Marshmallow Biscuits:
2 marshmallows per biscuit
Chocolate sauce
Warm the marshmallows in the oven
Smear chocolate sauce on two biscuits
Place a marshmallow on each biscuit
Press two biscuits together
Eat immediately
Another day has been put to bed and soon we’ll be tucked under the covers as well. Goodnight.
