First day of new resolve
Feb. 16th, 2009 06:17 amToday will be a new test for me. I have resolved not to do these ridiculous hours trying to pull off two 40 hour a week jobs at one time. My boss agrees with me and I'm feeling really good about saying 'no'. We'll see if I can hold on to that. Anyone wanting to send along thoughts of strength and resolve, feel free. I can use all I can get. "NO" is not a word I use easily and I'll need to make sure the project manager gets it from day one.
Valentines Day was awesome. Monique found tickets to go see Barry Manilow. Oh, stop making faces. My generation loved him and Monique and I fell in love to his music. Anyway, he was playing on Long Island Saturday night. We went down Saturday afternoon and had a very relaxing day together.
The show itself was amazing. Even at sixty-something years old, Barry still has a solid, strong voice. He's not the dynamo he was twenty years ago, but he still has a great stage presence.
I went and worked on the database for Monique yesterday. I should have finished it, but she decided that she wanted a feature that we had originally written out of phase one. So I came very close. If I can just stick to my resolve at work today I can get home in a timely enough fashion to finish it off after dinner but before Heroes. It would be so nice to be done.
I looked at the schedule for flute choir this season. We have four performances, two of them without firm dates yet. I have *NO* Sundays free for rehearsals at all in April. The group as a whole doesn't have a lot of flexibility for date/times for jobs. It's going to be tricky.
The schedule as a whole will be messy with the whole work project timeline falling into uncertainty. Should make for some interesting stress working in the LARP weekends, vacation weeks, potential weekend data conversion, etc. I live by a fixed calendar and I just don't have a good one for the next 4 months. I hate that.
Madrigal - T minus 4 days 16 hours (or so) and counting! :-)
