Whew! Brain dump ahead!
May. 14th, 2008 10:03 pmIs it only Wednesday? It feels like so much later in the week!
On the other hand, I'll have a nice, long weekend in a few days: I finally got my semi-permanent schedule, which will be Wednesdays to Friday. Four day weekends! Yay!
Actually, I'll probably figure something out to do with those two extra days, whether personal projects or volunteering. But it certainly won't be for the full 8 hours I'd be spending at work (well, 8.5 hours) if I were full-time. (Did I mention that it took me over 20 minutes tonight just to go through my snail-mail and email? Just stuff that had piled up in 12 hours! Crazy!)
Speaking of work, tomorrow's my first payday! Yay! My bank balance will finally go from the precarious double-digits to something more respectable. On the agenda for this weekend, therefore, is getting some backlogged spending done: renew my SCA membership, pre-reg for Pennsic, put gas in my car, get my picture taken and submit my passport application, and buy a few necessities. There's quite a bit of spending I intend to do over the next little while, but it doesn't all have to be done this weekend.
I went to karate twice this week. Among other things, I started to learn a new kata (bassai). I like katas that let me make lots of noise, and this one does: lots of stomping and slapping and other stuff that makes me sound a lot bigger than I am.
Marc should be calling me tonight, and this thought makes me very happy. Now to finish reading my blogs.
