My Almost-daily Journal |
|
| About I love trying out new things, especially when it comes to internet technology. I never really kept a journal, but it's something that I've always wanted to do. Now, everybody will get a chance to look inside my twisted, and somewhat-warped mind.
I've also subscribed to Audio Blog, so a few times a week, I'll leave actual voice blogs. Very cool!XML Newsfeed Previous Posts

The Wedding March The week heading up to the big day has been quite a stressful one. The stress isn't ill-received. On the contrary, I love the stress and the challenges. I work better with too many things on my plate. I just wish that I had a two-week wedding march, in order to complete tasks at my leisure. The most daunting aspect of the stress has been prioritizing tasks. My task list has now overfilled two pages. I feel good when task completion momentum is faster than task addition. The thing I miss most this week due to planning a wedding, a honeymoon, web work, charity work, engineering work (what an inconvenience), and domestic duties (i.e. bills, house, etc.) is sleep. I've been averaging about 3am lights out, and about 7am lights on. I'm pretty exhausted. I think I'm seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. Engineering work? I think my organization is under some illusion or spell that I'm not going to be here for two weeks. Work keeps piling on, expectations and stress-levels are increasing, and I have a deliverable list of someone that is going to work 6am - 8pm for the next month. Do they not know that today is my last day? Do they not know that I will not be back until the THIRD week in October? It's almost funny. Almost. Someone is going to be in for a rude awakening when shit hits the fan on October 4. I'll be basking in the Hawaiian sun, drinking Hawaiian Punch, without a care in the world when feasibility studies, engineering cost estimates, timelines, validation testing matrices and CAD designs are being demanded by our customers. It'll be wake-up time for someone. It won't be me. My list now has been reduced somewhat. Most of the things I have to deal with involve rehearsal dinner, tuxedos, and making sure things are orchestrated correctly. I also need to make sure all our rings are insured, which requires faith that my jeweler is going to fax appraisals to my insurance company when I am gone. Finally, the biggest dilemma right now is the weather. Monsoons, gale winds, typhoons, hail, sleet, freezing rain, funnel clouds, and Arctic blasts are all coming in for a visit this Saturday. It's sickening that the last month has been dry, 75 degrees and clear skies. I guess Murphy has a sick sense of humor. If I could get my hands on him, I'd make him choke himself. Oh well. I guess the Greeks are going to get a taste of matrimony, comedy-club style, where everybody is seated at their tables, and we get married by Eddie Murphy on the dance floor. Not exactly what we had in mind. I guess that's the price I pay for not wanting a church wedding. posted by Dino at 9:46 AM (permanent link)
