Divers alarums (276/365)

[white_hart]

In an attempt to force myself to stop working before I'm completely shattered, I have set four alarms on my phone:

Monday to Friday, 17:00: "Start thinking about going home"
Monday to Friday, 17:30: "Go home!"
Monday to Friday, 17:45: "No, really, go home!"
Monday to Friday, 18:00: "GO HOME RIGHT NOW"

(I normally get to work about 8am, so even allowing for taking a full hour for lunch leaving at 5:30 is an eight and a half hour day, or a 42.5-hour week. Baby steps.)

Let's see what time I manage to leave the office tomorrow.

On a happier note, the lake was truly glorious today.

Yes, it is good to leave on time and claim your own time. Employers don't look after us, we have to look after ourselves.

I hope the alarms do the trick.
