Tired

It's been a long week. I'm not sure if I should be grateful it's a short working week or curse the universe for making it so, since I think a part of my exhaustion is from packing five work days into four.

Work has at least been interesting. We continue to interview candidates for a senior unix engineering position on my team although it appears one position has been filled. I've been working on a number of projects, each of which has expanded my knowledge considerably although they also caused high spikes in my blood pressure. The worst of those is over... I think.

I've resumed prodding my management about getting my expense reimbursements pushed through accounting. It has come to the point of being utterly silly so the next time I'm requested to purchase something on behalf of the firm, I'm going to ask them to either provide a credit card for me to use or have them do the purchase remotely so I can go collect the item.

Square dancing continues. After a short break, we were back our C2 class on Monday. The biggest snag is that we don't have a space available for the class to continue currently; John & Mary are working hard at getting something lined up and I'm optimistic all will be well.

I called a club night for Chesapeake Squares Tueday night; kent4str called for the DC Lambda Squares tonight. Tomorrow, he's also calling a one hour square dance demo for the IAGLCWDC.

Our original plans for the long weekend have been scrubbed so we're going to be free agents for the while. This should give us some time to finish up the front porch maintenance (second coat of paint, installation of new light fixture) and kitchen plumbing (replacing kitchen fawcet).

Enough fun for now... I'm going to go read for a while and head for bed.
