Why must the week after a relaxing mini-break always be one of stress-inducing madness? It seems somehow wrong. But there it is.
Work has been nuts this week. So much to do, not enough time to do it in, and everyone else has finally developed a sense of urgency as far as my leaving goes. Nice timing. But oh well. At least they finally got me a laptop so I can work from home and on the shuttle bus. Hurray for more productive hours! Of course, this means my sad workaholic geek tendencies are being enable in the extreme but whatever, at least the work will get done.
Anyway, I’ve been working in bits and pieces on the new orenburg shawl. I got the bottom boarder done over the weekend, and had to rip back the first few rows of the body because I had made a mistake in charting on another on the corner section which was driving me nuts. No huge deal though, I only ripped a few rows and things are already looking better.
The next step it to make a nice tidy chart of the whole thing. I did it in excel for the last one, which worked out pretty well, so I need to work on that some tonight on my break today (if I take one, blegh). It much easier to copy and paste the repeating elements to figure out what my final row count needs to be than doing it all by hand on graph paper and erasing everything 47 times. Hurray for efficiency!
