Friday night – stacks

 

Oy.. I’m exhausted.. a long , busy.. and pretty upbeat week. I’m about 2 months into my new job and starting to get the hang of it. I’m in sponge mode, trying to learn as much as I can about the area I’ve just joined. It’s all new.. the people, the  acronyms, the problems.. and I love I’m spending every waking hour trying to cram all this stuff into my head. My normal routine now is to print all the email that I get that’s longer than 1 paragraph. I’m not able to read anything longer than that on a screen for some reason.. So far, I haven’t been able to read it on a kindle either. Right now I need to have old fashioned paper I’m no luddite.. but I think it’s part of my general  reading problem.. This presents several problems.. 1st.. I now show up at home with a 2 to 4 inch stack of stuff to read every night .. I generally start after the family goes to bed  and am still at it until nearly 1AM.. 2nd.. That leaves me wiht a huge pile of double sided printout that’s hard to reuse.. I feel like an ecoterrorist.. third.. I’m usually way out of synch with online conversations. Most folks have replied twice by the time I’ve had a chance to read an email thread..

What to do ? Has anyone had any luck using an ipad for this ? .. or is there some other trick I should apply to reading my laptop ? A bigger sreen perhaps ?
