A lot going on

Busy days at work. Everybody seems to want me to help them. If the people I did the work for had the final say I would not be worried about my annual review. Unfortunately, my management regards a lot of these as “distractions”. They are rather vague about how people are supposed to get their work done without my help. I think I am making progress on their pet projects.

Spent some time today on colgaffneyis business. I exchanged several e-mails with the President (I am on the Board) about an unfinished piece of business from last summer. We appear to have very similar ideas about what went wrong then, and how to clear it up now.

More cutting back: mia_mcdavid has urged that I skip a party tomorrow night, and a colgaffneyis event Saturday afternoon. She is SWMBO, and I need to have some time at home. I will go to another party on Saturday night, and the Gaeltacht Minnesota fundraiser on Sunday.

News from Mankato

mia_mcdavid called this evening. Things are going OK down there. Everybody overslept this morning so they had to scramble to be ready, but they made it. Nobody has frozen to death.

Mia has no internet access. All she has is her cell phone, with an extra battery. That is not nearly enough to keep it on all the time through the long weekend. So she has it off most of the day to conserve the charge. This limits communication. It is hard for me, and I am sure it is hard for her.
