Updated the list yesterday and some of the wiki today. After being off so long, there is a lot to do and I'm exhausted. Lots of movement, I'll try to finish off the other pages updates by the end of the week.
So much to say, no energy to say it. Weather is now verging on hot but my A/C is working just fine. Huzzah. Well worth the $$ for that. My shoulder and neck are much better - after much PT and lots of semi-painful exercises, I am coming back to "normal". My main issue is that I am mostly okay for work, by the time I get home, I am still unable to do a lot of typing on the computer - it exacerbates the issue. The PT said I'm doing fine and coming along. She expects me to be okay in a few more months. Urgh. Of course, in the meantime, I've been on my games, which don't require typing, just the occasional mouse work. That doesn't bug as much. Reading hurts, watching tv hurts, anything where I'm still, but then I run out of energy if I move a lot. Catch-22. Still, could be so much worse and it is temporary. It's made me walk more, which is good for the general health and the depression. Which of course, I've been in a slump for a few months.
Oh, let's see, I had the week of vacation where the pollen was so bad my eyes swelled shut for two days (okay, just the right eye, but the left eye hurt). And well, that's all for now, I'm getting twinges and I just want to lie down (not that it helps, which is the really annoying part).

Updated the published part of the wiki today. Eight projects posted in the last six weeks. That really isn't that bad as at least two of them were monster projects. I will work on moving the others around in the next few days. So tiring. This is massively more tiring than I recall. Mind you work is so stressful right now I think it leaks into everything. I'm exhausted coming home, which also plays into why I'm not on DP as much as I was.
All the issues of being a team leader but not a supervisor are still there. Oh, I wish they would hire the fourth person, make that person the supervisor and let me slide into research. I refuse to be the supervisor, for dang sure. I am tired of trying to prod and motivate people since it is hard for me when their motivators are so different from mine. I can seem to hit on the right combination and "it's your job, I don't care if you like it or not, just do it ..." not working. Sigh.
I will be doing three 10-12 hour days in the next three days because we are pre-visiting some far-flung sites to prep for the actual audit visit in four weeks. Gah, I'm tired just thinking about it.

Updated some of the wiki today. Moved 10 of the items from F2 to Post-Processing. This computer will make me crazy. I have two processes that I have found what to do to make them stop and work right so they don't slow my computer down so much. However, it will take me half a day to work through them and hope like heck I don't mess up. So, what do I do? Five minutes here and there of "regular" time on until I get so frustrated I stop because I know I'll find the fix even more frustrating in the short term, for all it will I hope make a long term fix. And there it is. I don't trust that it really will fix the system, so it feels like I am being asked to spend three hours for nothing, as it were.
My cold is 90% over. It was a typical 10 day cold for all it made me so miserable these last two weeks. The chest pain from congestion and the coughing and the fatigue. Ugh. But, much better now.
Also, I was elected as part of the board. Oh my. I have high hopes and high anxiety and we'll see how it works out. As stated, I believe the main two goals to be getting on with are a - figure out our goal and b - get our GM. Okay, off to bed. Hey, I even foofed some today. I'm proud of me.
