Mental Health Day

[rareboy]

I planned on "working from home" today after firing off the final version of a proposal.

I figured the rest of the day I could get things ready for our tree planting volunteers on Saturday and do a bit of gardening.

Instead, it started drizzling at about 9am and at 9:10, I had a request from a long standing client organization to prepare a detailed feasibility study and workplan for a project we assisted to start a few years ago before it was interrupted by COVID....

So now I am still at home but actually working on writing the proposal and gathering a team of sub-consultants for different aspects.

Do you ever plan a mental health day and then find yourself neck deep in work anyway instead of goofing off?

I wouldn't say I have mental health days, but I certainly have days when I go to the office intending to do one thing and get totally sidetracked by some crisis or other.

Enjoying Friday after work. The joy of this video is as good a liquor.

Cheers!

I don't know what a "mental health day" is but I DO avoid the subways of New York.

(Now just WHO is that red-robed female at 0.50?)

You don't live here, do you? Shouldn't take you much of an effort to avoid them.

Grimshaw, by the way will troll any thread to try to derail it.

I'm thinking the continued mass shootings will increasingly diminish the number of free-range crazies.

I thought being anti-vax would have thinned the herd...but I didn't count on such a huge herd.

In any event, we just spent the day with 20 volunteers planting trees on our farm with the proceeds going to the Conservation groups in our area. Eventually the trees represent a gift to the University from the estate. So. win. win. win.

That is a good mental health day.

Which university?

And what do you mean, "spent the day"? It's only 2 pm!

The day started at 6 am... It was so hot by 2, so glad we started early.

yup...

It is like planning for a whole year to go on a trip....giving everyone ample notice...and warnings not to fuck things up 48hours before I get on a plane or leave for somewhere in the remote wilds...only to have some minor disaster totally upend everything..

Welcome to JUB btw.
