Wednesday: 44 Days

Resign from Abbott by 4/4/10.
In progress and on schedule with notice: 44 days and counting! My position was posted on Monday, and the news traveled fast.

So, check this out. I conducted interviews at Abbott yesterday and today for three new chemists. One dude I interviewed today Googled ( how come Firefox doesn't know that "Google" is a verb??) me before his interview. I couldn't decide if that's proactive or creepy. I guess I decided on proactive, since we hired him.

Brand the biz(es.)
I need to send a follow-up email to Pastor Doug about using his church. I feel... busy. Why am I not getting stuff done? Let's see...

Sunday, Keith and I drove around looking at potential commercial property locations (so, I suppose that counts toward this goal) and houses (which counts less, but is still part of the master "plan"), ate dinner at the Japanese steakhouse, and watched Spiderman 3 and half of Black Hawk Down. Did those dudes ever get outta there?? I fell asleep. Monday and Tuesday we had the kids home for the holiday and a snow day, so I played my share of Mario Kart and watched American Idol. I also wrote one out of five performance evaluations, interviewed six chemist candidates, and wrote two investigations at Abbott; published the bulletin and planned worship for all of Lent; and I shoveled the driveway no less than six times - all of that in three days.

Somehow, I managed to get pretty much nothing on my goals list done. I really don't see the problem. {e:headscratch}

15 minutes of small biz research per day.
Goal met. I have lots of Internet resources and need to go to the library. Don't you love it when research leads you to sources of more research? SCOPE CREEP.

Business: Music Instruction Books.
Um...

Launch one new Praise Band song per month.
Goal met, with two additional songs planned next week. It seems I'm hitting church pretty hard, which I suppose is fair, since it's my highest paying job besides Abbott.

Post at WordPress at least once per week.

Pending. I'm listening to "Yellow" right now, because I disappointed the bd's guy last week when I didn't have a Coldplay song ready per his request. But I'm tired and need a nap.

Taxes.
Just pending mileage for July - December. I drive around a lot.
