August 2007

I swear I did at least one August before this, but maybe not. Life really is quite crunchy right now. Every time I think I've got a space, something fills it, usually on a deadline. I can't seem to catch up at all ever. It's maddening. There's talk of an "intern" who I'd have to train and as long as I don't get some *** who won't do the work ... Well, it's been frustrating that the staff that has been seconded to me so far isn't interested in doing any of the projects I've assigned or things I've tried to teach them. Then working from "okay what DO you want to do, I'll give you that, it'll be one thing off my plate", nope that didn't work either. Sigh.
DP, right, DP. Okay, I'm mentoring and keeping up there. Managing SOME pages every now and then. I feel bad I can't seem to carve out more than a page or two here and there. Oh well, do what you can to the best you can. Sleep now.

Updated foofer list and wiki. Not a lot of movement although Middle High German Primer actually moved on. I thought I'd be doing that in F2 for the next 10 years. Work still crazy - two separate deadlines due tomorrow. I'm hoping that things calm down a little so I can look at the quiz stuff (hi amy) and answer some questions and talk to yralih (hi susan) and do some mentoring (hi julie). :grin:

Updated foofer list and wiki. Will try to work on quiz tomorrow and talk to Amy. My main goal this weekend is to try the PPing software again.
Was weirdly ill yesterday, but luckily better today. I found out I'd lost another 4 pounds when I went to the doctor and they weighed me. This is good and it explains why the clothes I just bought are already a little loose on me. Did my exercises today, felt virtuous.

Updated foofer list and wiki. A decent amount of movement. I failed at PPing software but susan had a good suggestion to ask if Don could help. It may be Mac OS, but what this is is PERL. Don does know perl. Until things are calm enough for me to try, my goal this next weekend is to work on content provision. I need to finish all the OCR scan and image processing. If I can get it done, then I can upload it and get that project working through.
I really like doing my exercises at the gym because I can concentrate. I'm seeing definition in those bits of my body I care least about and no definition yet where I'd really like to see it. Naturally. Work is still crazy busy/stressful with no end in sight but I'm trying to maintain my calm.

Updated foofer list and wiki. Not much movement of projects. Life continues same.
And now back to Index to 2007
