How to prioritize:
Step One: Determine priorities.
Step Two: Order priorities in a logical manner.
Step Three: Review order, weighing pros and cons of completion sequence.
Step Four: Reorder if necessary.
Step Five: Shuffle priorities and complete at random.
Things to do today included: Picking up hand sanitizer and antiperspirant/deodorant, calling tech support about my computer, resolving a potential conflict with an old friend, saving my job.
The logical order would be:
1) Save job in order to ensure life and further education.
2) Get hygiene products so I don't freak out about being less than 100% sanitary.
3) Call tech support, meanwhile utilizing the computer labs provided by the university.
4) After making up work tonight that I missed over the holiday, call my pally and straighten out whatever little I might be able to straighten out.
The order I did things in:
1) Got hygiene products and used them in the parking lot. Germ-X is a gift of the gods. Prometheus has nothing on Germ-X.
2) Called tech support. They said they'd send me a replacement laptop keyboard that I'd have to install myself. Thanks a lot, guys. I wonder what they do when they have a customer who isn't experienced with computers. Do they "walk through" those people? Pff.
3) Called my friend, who I wasn't expecting to be there or answer. She either wasn't there, or didn't answer. I'll try again after work when I'm filthy and cranky, that'll be fun.
4) Called in work. Apparently I still have a job. They must really love me. First they let me take a week off, then they overlook the fact that I skipped holiday work. Not that I knew I was supposed to work the holiday or that they told me in advance, but still. By all accounts I should've been fired from there months ago.
Things to do tonight:
1) Call friend again. Hang up on her answering system again.
2) Call other friend whom I haven't spoken to in a few months to chit-chat. I'll tell her how she was in one of my dreams, and she'll think that's neat, then we'll talk about stupid crap for an hour and then not call each other for another two or three months.
3) Listen to freshly acquired Rammstein singles.
4) Do German homework while listening to Rammstein singles, but space out and think of how to become president, turn the presidency into a dictatorship, kill as many people as possible, and make SyK my main henchman.
5) Take a shower and think about futility in a way that would make the goths piss themselves, but not take any action on it.
6) Crawl into a tunnel I'll make out of my comforter and sleep to Dvorak, Mozart, Tchaikovsky, and even that wretched Chopin, whom I've decided to give another chance.
I won't bother the order of those, though. They require no courage.
