the dailies: kati from finestationery.com
YAYYYY--- another good daily! Kati from FineStationary.com (which is one of my FAVE go-to's for a quick correspondence fix) has kindly given us a tour of her day, but beware--- this gal is a scheduling FIEND!
6:30 AM
My alarm goes off and my cat, Bobby, is already sniffing my face and screaming for attention. I feed the cats, shower, check email and the weather, stumble into some clothes and rush out the door by 7:30.
8:00 AM
I arrive at FineStationery.com where I've worked for almost 2 years now. I check email, check the blog & respond to or un-screen comments, read my top 10 favourite blogs and start working through emails. I bring up my to-do list on gootodo.com. What I like about having a virtual list is that I can access it anywhere. Today I'm following up on a few sample requests from the press, updating some of our stationer applications and working on a few other projects. Somewhere between now and 10 AM I enjoy a diet coke, coffee and bagel.
12:00 PM
Time for a walk break. Before I leave, I coerce Misty into taking my photo. I return with soda. I have a caffeine problem.
1:30 PM
I try to make the most of my lunches and get out of the office for a bit. There are stores and museums nearby. I hit up a thrift store which is a total bust. The antiques shop up the road; however, shows promise. I talk briefly with one of the owners about mid-century modern pieces and he remarks that they have some in storage. We make plans to meet in March when the weather warms up. I buy an old typesetters case to hang in my home office.
2:30 PM
Back to work. I have just enough time to grab a grilled cheese from the office cafeteria. My to-do list still looks as big as when I started the day.
6:00 PM
My cats Bobby and Mamacita greet me at the door. I catch up on my emails, read my friends' blogs and scope out my personal to-do list. Thank goodness for the long weekend.
8:00 PM
I edit the photos from today, work on some banners, modify some etsy listings and update my personal blog. Apparently this is when normal people eat or have already eaten so I head into the kitchen to prepare dinner. Tonight we are sampling tofu peanut satay. While I'm waiting for the tofu to press, I copy a few recipes (eggplant cannoli, Japanese marinade) into my cookbook and sort my recycling and clothing donations to drop off over the weekend. Kenny comes home around 9 and we eat dinner shortly thereafter. Turns out neither of us like peanut satay.
11:00 PM
Some seams had started to split on a vintage dress of mine so I patch those up and finish cutting out the neck for a shirt I sewed last week. Around 11:30 it is time for bed.
welcome.
design is inevitable. celebrated. design for mankind.
