bjarvisToday's work-related tasks were handled fairly early this morning. While there are still several irons in the proverbial fire, they're on hold waiting for information and/or hardware from various other parties.
Which means I've run out of excuses not to do the truly tedious tasks still on my list. *sigh*
One of these boring jobs was sorting through the papers in my backpack. I typically carry two laptops (the office laptop and my personal laptop), my clipboard of various notes and a tonne of other square dance related papers, notes, cheat sheets, call lists and such. The weight surely adds up, especially if I haven't cleared away the excess for a while.
My square dance-related papers are now sorted into six transparent folders: one each for Mainstream, Plus, Advanced and Challenge 1, as well as one of misc notes and another of teaching materials & notes. Duplicate papers were jettisoned into recycling. I didn't save a lot of weight but finding a particular set of papers when I'm working on choreo for a particular level will be vastly easier.
I'd save a lot of energy by not carrying my office laptop home every night but Murphy monitors my habits and would surely arrange a desperate need to telecommute on the one day I didn't have my laptop handy. The universe is evil that particular way.
I'm calling C1 for our Barkley crowd in Arlington, VA, tonight as our regular caller, Doren, is still recovering from recent surgery. I have a tonne o' new material which will either earn some applause or tar & feathers. I'll let you know which tomorrow.
Nine more days until we fly to Los Angeles for CALLERLAB! Perhaps more importantly, 27 more days until the camping season starts and we return to the trailer!
