I had big plans for today. Here is how I planned out my work day:

buy clomid online clomid online generic

9:00 – 10:30 AM: Go to a client and drop off a new computer. Configure the PC and do a couple of other quick chores.
10:35 AM – 12:00 PM: Work on Web pages.
12:00 PM – 12:30 PM: Lunch.
12:30 PM – 4:00 PM: Work on Web pages.
4:00 PM – 5:00 PM: Finish up an article for my blog.
5:00 PM – ?: Dinner, family time, etc.

Here is how my day actually went:

9:30 AM: Arrive at client and configure computer.
10:00 AM – 4:30 PM: Try to fix a program on the client’s server that just so happened to stop working while I was there.

And that was that. I got absolutely no Web work or writing done today. How tragic. I will try to get some done this evening but am not holding out any great hope! But hey, at least I logged some good billable hours today so it’s not all bad…

Think of the End to Motivate the Action

I believe in the value of Sunday evening services. But my belief in their value is not evenly distributed across the Lord’s Day. I believe in them a lot at 7:00 PM, just after the service has come to a conclusion. I believe in them far less at 4:30 PM when I have to pry…
