Almost immediately she regretted wearing her "fun" shoes. Wishing for heavier bags to justify the elevator, she slowly began the climb to the third floor. This likely was the most leisurely part of her day.
Piles of paper beckoned to her as she frantically worked throughout the day to shorten her night. Hopeful in the a.m. that she might make a dent in the pile, she takes time to clean out the e-mail to-do list. (big mistake)
Later as she's moments from walking across campus for a meeting that will ultimately end her day, she pokes her head in the office. It's Oct. 3, and yet her new planner for 2008 has arrived.
Thinking of the many items already lining up to be penned into the new version, she sighs. It used to be a lot more fun to get a new planner.
