Do you ever have those days in which you have carefully scheduled almost every minute of your day? When you have plotted out estimates of how long each activity/idea will take to complete/realize in order to begin the next item on the list (and the next and the next and the next...)?
Today was one of those days. The Interrogating Antigone international conference begins on Friday and there is lots to still be done in preparation. And, of course, this is the day when about one third of the available computers in the 1937 (Postgraduate) Reading Room cannot access the internet. So I run some errands and come back, finally getting onto a computer at just about five o'clock. And, of course, there are emails from businesses or departments or offices whom I contacted earlier and who requested a response from me earlier today. Now that I am reading my message and preparing to respond or telephone, I realize it's after five and all of them have gone home for the day.
Luckily I was too worn out and under-rested to freak out. I did some other emails now that I finally had access to a working computer and actually managed to get some issues resolved.
And tomorrow is another day.
