Burrell, how did the event go? No crying or tripping I assume.
It was good, thanks. No tripping, no tears. I did butcher some poor student's name but it was during the raffle prize section, which had sort of devolved into the event coordinator and I doing a kind of low-key Lucy and Ethel routine. And Percival Everett told a great story about being the only black cowboy in Idaho, so that was entertaining. Not sure it was about young writers exactly, but that wasn't strictly a requirement.
And there were lots of students and faculty coming up to say thank you at the end, so I assume that means it went well. Either that or they are buttering me up for next year, but I'll take it.
I guess we got through Single Whip last week, tonight was Lift Hands, Crane Spreads its Wings, and Brush Knee. Maybe something else in there. Not sure I have all that, but that is okay. I do like the names.
I love Brush Knee. You're officially into the second part of the first set I believe.
Sounds like a great event, Burrell!
When you can't tell if the sore is from the muscle you pulled doing a stupid maneuver cleaning a couple days ago or glands going over-reactionary from spring or demo dust. Displeased with my level of creaky.
I love Brush Knee. You're officially into the second part of the first set I believe.
Oh good! When we do the whole form I feel like I know just enough to get in the way of following the parts I don't know, which is probably progress but feels pretty awkward. Glad to hear your thing went well!
I need to focus on work, of which I have a buttload, but my mind keeps wandering off to absolutely anything else. How the hell did I get through 16 years of school?
Remember how I said work was about to go NUTS? Well, right now it is dead calm...waiting, waiting, waiting.
I went to exactly that place, Zen.
It is nuts. Our project accountant's last day is tomorrow - still no word on who will take on that work. The contracts group has gone radio silent on the ton of work they have before I can do anything. We have two of the six new contracts signed by us and are just waiting for the final countersignature.
One of the fun pieces is that the contracts group is here in the Denver office so I could, in theory, get face to face with them. But I'm without a car today/tomorrow. If we haven't gotten satisfaction by Monday - you can bet I'll be going into the office then.
See, I'm doing the fun task of copying and pasting my emails into a database (whee...). I thought I had to do it for two more folders worth of emails--but one was up to date! Go pre-vacation me! But the other one is taking forever--I last updated through May 2015. And I only just finished through August 2015, after working on it for over an hour. SO MIND NUMBING. I can't believe they don't have a better system in this day and age.
