useful tasks and thumb-twiddling compete with work

Today I managed to:

do some laundry

obtain a paper via document delivery and pass it on to the others in the department who'd asked for a copy

bake a cake

re-arrange my thesis so that "timing of metamorphism" gets its very own chapter, rather than being discussed a bit at a time in each region (yes, sismith42, I remember that ages ago you suggested that I share my thesis outline here, and I may yet do so, but it would take time/energy to transform it into a format that works here, which is why I haven't done it).

catch up on some e-mail lists

add a bit to the introduction (the thesis is now 339 words longer than yesterday).

catch up on LiveJournal and a couple of geology blogs

finish creating a spreadsheet to compare results from two different methods I've used, and sent it off to my advisor with a question.

Doesn't look like much, does it? How can it be so late in the evening already?
