I don’t know why this work week seemed to stretch out longer than usual but it did. I had to attend two meetings this week where I basically said 2 things at the most. I attend these meetings on a regular basis to hear what people are saying about a software product so that some day when it is finally released I can write curricula for it. It’s been a long road and still nothing to write about. Yesterday’s meeting was 6 hours and it was conducted via a webinar. That’s a long time to stare at the computer and listen to conversation via speaker phone. I did get one tip that I will use whenever the product is released.
Next week two people are leaving our office as part of the layoff. This will bring the number of people who have left to 5 and we still have 2 to go. I’m empathetic to their plight but I really wish the end of the month would come so we can start getting on with it. Since May we’ve done nothing but talk about how much things suck and how royally screwed up our fearless leader is. I need a break from that and that’s not exactly something I can admit to at work.
On to better things…
This coming Wednesday we’re going to see Billy Joe Shaver perform. I’m going to have to bolt out of class that night to get to the show on time. I will try to contain myself when he does Georgia on a Fast Train. I will contain myself. I will. Really.
