Goals at Work

I'm not proud of this, but I've fallen behind at work. Again. Could you see it coming? Blogging a few times a day, complaining about not liking my job...right.
So last night before I left work, I put together a priority list for catching up this week. This morning I got a bit of a rude awakening. I forgot it was billing week (for past due accounts.) Oi.
I took a deep breath (20 minutes ago), and re-structured my catch-up schedule, and decided a little accountability was necessary.
This may even be contradictory since I'm spending time I should be (let's see, what time is it?) processing patient billing right now, but I thought I'd log on again real quick to get this posted so I could perhaps guilt myself into better performance at work!! LOL
