Subsriptions

Today was a rest day, so I didn't have to get up early to go to the gym.  That was nice.  And since I slept in for a bit, it was a little odd to get ready for work in a rush since I was actually running late due to sleeping.  Sean has been in Boston for the last few days, so I didn't have the noise of his alarm going off five or six times to bother me and wake me up early.

 

Work was busy.  The reports that I run and slides that I have to update on Saturdays were not done like I thought they would be.  Since I was away at Julian on Saturday, I had assumed that Chip would do them.  However, we didn't get our feeder reports from Tampa in on time on Saturday so Chip couldn't make the reports.  So my day was busy jumping through hoops trying to make the reports correct by three o'clock.  And as it turns out, the meetings where the reports are presented were cancelled.  SO much the better.

 

It's pretty hot here today - somewhere in the mid-80s.  And really windy.  The wind is kicking up a lot of dust and we might have the making for a really good windstorm.  Looking at the weather shows a chance of rain on Wednesday.  No luck for the rain.  Just wind at 23 mph with gusts up to 40 mph.

 

Mike has been waiting for about a month now to find out where he's going next.  Tokyo is his home office, but he is waiting for his notice move notification to arrive by e-mail.  I know what it's like to wait and wait.  We're all pretty anxious to find out where the company is going to send him next.

 

Ashley left today for her vacation/break.  Contrary to what I wrote yesterday, it's not 128 degrees there.  It's only 105.  I'll have to agree with mom and sitting in my room reading a book and taking a nap is more my speed.  I'm not about getting away that bad.  Tomorrow is the start of my half days.  I'll come in at the regular time and take off in the early afternoon and do whatever.  Seriously, I'm thinking about naps.  Maybe take some walks.  It doesn't matter.  Just to have the option of whether to go into work or not - and choosing NOT - will be worth it.  I think.

 

And my successor should be here in about three weeks.  I'm pretty excited about that.  I think that over the next few weeks I'll start making the continuity book that I never got from my predecessor.  As long as I don't have to come back in a year or two and get my own book back...

 

Right now I should be in my professional managers education course.  But I think that tonight makes for five or six weeks that I haven't been going.  There is plenty of work that I should be doing, but I have some magazine subscriptions that I need to change my address for and I figured I should write this while I have the computer open.  Changing my subscriptions...  That means that I'll be out of here soon!  But who's counting?
