Wow What a Week

Monday, May 4th, 2009

Last week was a very tiring week. It’s not necessarily that I did a lot, but just the combination of being so busy at work and not feeling too well made it feel pretty bad. All of the week I was training a new girl at work. That meant that for the whole week, I was sitting with someone and going 8+ hours a day of covering all sorts of different stuff. To make matters more fun, there are a number of things that I’m showing her how to do that I’m literally learning myself as I teach her. It was a big mental toll as we were going hard and non-stop.  Since I’m only going to be in town working for a few weeks, we are trying to make sure that we cover as much as possible while I’m still here.

The crazy working wouldn’t be bad if it didn’t coincide with me getting my spring time cold. Every year around this time I seem to get a cold. It lasts about a week or so, and is very annoying. It doesn’t usually do me in too badly, but it is exhausting. It also means that I wasn’t able to do much of anything after work. I’ve been trying to go out with friends as much as I can while I’m in town, and I lost a whole week since I wasn’t feeling well.  Oh well, I’d rather be healthy. 

A side effect from the week, I think, is that my brain just seems to be complete mush. I just am not thinking clearly, nor acting right. I’m hoping to get myself back on track this week, though. That’s partly why these last couple posts have been pretty meh. Maybe I’ll find something to rant about soon. That usually sparks decent writing from me.

So Much For Consistency

Wednesday, April 29th, 2009

I tried, I really did. I just didn’t quite make it doing a post every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. I was flying home last Thur, and fully intended on writing something on the plane, but completely forgot. I couldn’t do it Friday itself because I was at the coast all day. I knew that I’d be flying back to Dallas on Sunday so I planned on doing Monday’s post then. No dice, though, as I came down with a cold, and was so exhausted I just slept most of the flight. Monday was out since I was super busy at work, and came home and went straight to bed. Now here we are at Wednesday, and all I can come up with is to tell you why I’ve not been posting. It’s sad, really.

I’m starting to shake my cold a bit, so that is a definite improvement. I’m thinking that if I can get myself to remember to write something tomorrow night, I can have it go up on Friday, and at least salvage most of the week. Skipping two posts isn’t too bad, but it would have been better had I not done it two in a row.

I’ll try to explain what’s been keeping me so busy next time. For now, I need to get some grub and get to bed. Still feeling the effects of the cold…
