February 17
Time Flies...
The past 2-plus weeks have gone extremely fast. So fast that I have completely ignored the fact that I had promised to do better at keeping people up-to-date on the details of my life via this blog.
So, I am going to do that now.
With the usage of bullet points. It's been that 'interesting' of a two week time period. (I admit it, I'm kinda boring at times.)
What I've Done Since My Apartment Was Attacked by a Bird
- Enjoyed watching the Super Bowl with a group of work colleagues. Although I really didn't care who won the game, I usually enjoy the half-time show and the commericals. This year, I only enjoyed the half-time show. Who knew that Springsteen was that bendy? Am I the only one who thought that 85% of the commercials bit this year?
- Spent one day in the office the following week. Basically running around with my head chopped off. Why is it more stressful to be out of the office for a week than it is to be in the office?
- Left for Florida on Tuesday, February 3. All of my flights were on time. Although both were pretty bumpy due to turbulence. Thankfully, I made it to Clearwater Beach on time and with all of my belongings.
- Annoyed family & friends in SD on February 4, as I enjoyed a leisurely breakfast on Tampa Bay. Although it was a bit chilly. Honestly, it was record cold weather in Florida the week I was there. You'll believe me once the price of orange juice begins to rise.
- Spent the remainder of February 4-8 in conference mode. Lots of learning going on while meeting new people and renewing other friendships. Needless to say, I was wiped out at the end of each day. Thankfully, my roommate for the conference (my new colleague from across campus) felt the same way. I don't think we stayed up past 11PM during the week...at least on purpose.
- Returned from Florida on February 9. Again, all of my flights were on time. And this time they weren't too bumpy.
- Back into the swing of work on February 10. Almost caught up as of today, February 17.
- Realized that I probably have some cell phone problems going on. As my cell phone keeps on shutting down without warning. Trust me, I'm working on fixing this. Soon. Ish.
- Spent a lot of time on the phone with my parents and sister. Just 'normal' family issues that are getting more and more difficult to handle from this far away.
- Basically, slept most of this past weekend. Just plain worn out from a busy couple of weeks. Hoping (fingers crossed) that I won't catch one of the many, many illnesses that are floating around campus.
- Spending a lot of after hour time on campus this week due to trainings and classes. I am so excited that next week is a shorter week - yay for Mardi Gras!
Well, I think that about catches everyone up. In a very generic way. Well, it's time for me to order pizzas for tonight's training session. As they say, no rest for the wicked.
