Can't seem to sleep and figured it was only a couple hours early so might as well get up and at least update this blog/journal.

At work, a co-worker/friend has been out only a week and half due to her spouse being hospitalized with a serious condition. Because the office is unsure of her needed time, it was decided to have the rest of us help out to cover her work. I've upped my 'mood balance' medicine so not to ride the emotional roller-coaster during this time. Each and every one of us has our own way of working. I tend to have what appears to others as an unorganized desk and oft hear "how do you find anything?" Because I have to constantly jump from one type of work to another, my piles are set around me to easily access that particular information and is on-going work that I have accumulated due to staff getting less and less and our department not having the funds to hire the needed amount of people to properly run the office. It's a disorganized organization of work. Once upon a time, my focus was on one type of work and I was able to fully learn other jobs to be back-up when they are on vacation. Now, it's a jumble of bits of this, bits of that and if needed for back-up, do the bare minimum to hold it together till the person returns from vacation.

That being said, I've noticed the job that is currently being covered for my friend/co-worker - she too, is working from various piles, but not because of different work, but of compartments so to speak. Same work, but different areas. Which means, I understand her method. If it works for her, that's good. I can work with it as it's not nearly as complicated as my different piles. However - I do see where sometimes she might 'lose' files. It's not lost at all, but in a pile that sometimes clips to one another. For another worker, this method is difficult for her to 'see' as she can't tolerate 'disorganization' and is finding it difficult to help out. Therefore I am dissembling the piles into a workable method as I see some of it is accomplished and can be filed away to make it less disorganized for others to help cover the job and only those that I can't get to separating at this time, has joined the other piles on my desk. :X Grace be with the one who would need to cover my job if I got sick. I'm sure they wouldn't begin to comprehend my system.

Anyway. Went away from the computer for a bit and now, well, blah blah blah.

Um, let's see. Didn't get to play NwN two nights now - only because I've been tired when I've gotten home from work. I end up sitting in front of the TV for maybe an hour and half, falling asleep. Which is probably why I'm waking so early... Hm. I'm gonna try to get on to play tonight. Bri has some gear for my character that I want to collect.

Nothing more in the head this morning. Coffee and mail check next.

Good Day and Good Blessings.
