Slowly Regaining Control of My Life

I'm slowly regaining control of my life.

I have a temp who is helping me with all the work admin backlog that has piled up over the last 6 months, and which I've tried to stash away under my desk. But with each day, the growing pile of crap seems to increase and grow at an exponential rate, becoming increasingly difficult to ignore. Now, with my new found though temporary help, my desk has been cleared a little. Things are looking better and brighter, as I start to have my work life filed away in neat compartments again. *Sigh of relief*

Please don't misunderstand. I'm no control freak, and I'm not starting to be one just yet. But it is nice to have some modicum of neatness and order in my life. It's not so much the disorder that bothers me, but messiness is just not aesthetically pleasing. I like seeing things in some sort of order, although not necessary alphabetisized or colour-coded.

I must say I'm pretty pleased with the way things are working out. After this mini 2-day admin clearing exercise, I'm looking forward to the coming in of a new colleague who will bring some form of order to the chaos that I call work. Things will hopefully fall into place better, with better processes, more clear-cut roles and responsibilities, and a breath of fresh air and creativity into my work life. And I must say I'm looking forward to it. I felt out of control before as things seemed to be spiralling out of control, and into some bottomless bit.

Life seems good right this moment; made even better that can leave the office in right about 15 minutes time!
