TGIF!!!

Happy Friday!! The weather doesn't look promising for the weekend, but it is the weekend nonetheless so I am happy!! Friday's are typically my favorite day in the office - it is quiet and I try not to schedule any meetings so I can wrap up the loose ends of the week. Today, however, my plan has failed as I have 7 meetings on my calendar. Really? Who schedules a meeting on Friday afternoon at 3:00p.m.!?!?! The good news is it will force me to be super-productive in between meetings in order to get everything settled in my office.

Speaking of my office, everyday I see my "Organized Mess" award I won at our last HR Team Retreat - and I wonder how I missed getting any part of the clean-gene. Try as I might, the piles of paper stack up (not very green, I know) and the projects line the walls on my floor. My boss tells me that perception is reality and folks will think I am not on top of things if my office is messy. My thought is, no one ever comes to my office so why does it matter?

In the spirit of Spring, I am putting a picture of my "organized mess" out there for everyone to see. Maybe by Summer I will just be organized!!!

Happy Friday everyone!!!

The key word here is not "mess", it's "organized". And I know the "organizer". And more creativity and productivity comes from that place than from most. So rock on! And blog on. Very cool.

I interviewed a candidate for our PT admin position at our church last week. She worked for AIG and on her resume listed "adherence to corporate clean desk policy." Hmmmm...maybe D&T should investigate!!
