I’m taking today off to use up some of the hours I’ve banked over the past few crazy weeks, but somehow I’ve still got a long list of things to get done today, both for work and personal chores.

~~Upload some info about the imminent badminton competition~~
~~Send emails to follow up on meetings from yesterday afternoon~~
~~Post a request for help re: PC audit tool~~ [post]
~~Install Unix on the old laptop~~ [installed Solaris 10]
Nastaran will be pleased to see that I also went for a walk
~~Document my mid-year appraisal~~
~~Finish my blog entry about Spirit of Toronto~~ [posted]
~~Finish ripping my Marillion collection to the MP3 server~~ {bumped up the list because I’ve reached the end of everything I’ve ripped so far}
Catch up on emails from friends (some of which have been waiting over 2 months! Sorry)
Contact the people I’ve found via LongTimeLost.com
Browse through the pile of URLs I’ve been bookmarking to “check this out when I get time”
Call the dentist
Find a car insurance broker and start investigating how many arms & legs it’s going to cost
~~Finish reading The Tipping Point~~ (Worst. Book. Ever.)
Get further through Agile Retrospectives (full of good ideas)
Make a start on Extreme Programming Explained
Update my F1 points tables following the race last weekend
Work out why WatchThatPage.com can’t see my blog
…And then there’s my long-standing list of To Dos that I never seem to make much progress on
