A run down of stuff to do
Published on January 23, 2004 By Draginol In Work Reports
Meetings eat up increasingly greater amounts of my time.

In a theoretical 8 hour day today, I spent 4 hours of them in meetings. That leaves 4 hours to do actual "work".

Widgets to do:
[X] IconPackager Media Guide finished/checked/printed
[X] Went over JoeUser.com and featured some articles
[X] GalCiv Beta testing
[X] GalCiv Beta went up (not really any work on my part, just had to press the trigger)
[X] DesktopX 2.1 testing
[X] GalCiv screenshots
[X] IconPackager PR.

Meetings:
[X] Finding a new building for Stardock
[X] Interview with magazine
[X] Interview with newspaper
[X] Corporate customer meeting
[X] Various internal mini-meetings

Unplanned stuff:
( ) Pain with Outlook continues. I don't care what others say, Outlook 2003 SUUUUCKKKSSS. Today I discovered that unlike Outlook Express, I cannot simply click on "To" and find groups in my Address book by email. I used to be able to go in Outlook Express and type say "Cnet.com" and all my friends at Cnet.com would show up. Not so in Outlook 2003 where it only goes by name. That ate up about 30 minutes manually migrating lists.

( ) Lots of email.

Which sadly leaves a couple of unfinished widgets that I have to take home. WinCustomize Magazine. Organize Object Desktop docs. (i.e. find out what's missing). I'll have to do the WCMag stuff sooner rather than later.

You mean some people have 8 hour days and 5 day weeks?

Pford: According to my book about 9 to 11 hours every week (most out of my freetime which is around 60 hours per week).
