Steve Cole's Day

I got to the office at 8am. Leanna came in at 9:30. After I got sick and went home last night, I slept a few hours, got up and watched TV, slept a few more hours, finally got up at 4am and eventually got bored of the History Channel and came to work.
==============
STEP ONE: ROUTINE FUNCTIONS
This is stuff I do every day.
- - - - -
PART A: Going through Email. Not that much real mail, but plenty of spam. GPA continues to debate whether it should or should not allow manufacturers to comment on printers who did good or bad jobs for them. Talked to Fictional Reality Magazine about the ad we're running.
- - - - -
PART B: Checked the BBS. No real flamewars. Interesting discussion in the "rated ace event" topic.
- - - - -
PART C: Web crawl. Astronomy picture of the day. My DVD rental places. The Ebay auctions I am watching. I checked some pirate web sites for copyright violations. I checked the sfg server for stuck mail and spam. Wandered into a couple of assorted boardgame and sci-fi websites I check now and then. Read the Fed Commander Forum.
==============
STEP TWO: IMPORTANT "EXTRA" TASKS
Supposedly, one hour per day.
- - - - -
PART D: Pending Mail. Did five or six key Emails which had been waiting for me to have time to answer in detail. One of which was to answer an Email from Ann D who wants to do a PD version of her "fudge" rules.
- - - - -
PART E: Worthwhile tasks. Did a new version of FC MSC in race/card# order and sent it to Matt, who uploaded it. Had Matt add Star Fleet Alert Fall Schedule to the site
- - - - -
PART F: FYEO: Read a two-day-old file. I gotta catch up.
==============
LUNCH: Salad bar. Yummy. @#$% diet.
==============
INTERRUPTIONS: Did some FC ship cards for FCOL to see if the way I do them will work for FCOL. The Kyocera dealer installed Valla, the new printer.
==============
STEP 3: PRIMARY WORK
- - - - -
PART F: Prime Directive Federation: Processed Jean's report on the colonization part of PD FEDS. Approved sketch for PD20Feds cover. Did Mysteries of the Federation for PD Feds and sent those two pages to the staff.
- - - - -
PART G: Captain's Log #36: Added article about SFBOL world league to CL36. Did Jean's report on CL36 input guide. Email with the guys doing the orion pirate SFC web site about their article in CL36.
