I don’t know what to write. Not sure why. Hmmm, what to say, what to say.
This week at work has been slow as in no work. I have been taking this time to get up to speed learning Motion. I have just about got through all 18 hours of the online tutorials. I will be following up all the learning with a home project. Six months ago I video taped Hollace performing her kiwi stories. I think I can do something fun them.
I don’t know if you recall me mention that the start of this year had me find 3 time pieces of mine not working. I figure that was an omen. Well, I don’t know if it an omen or not but I am still losing time pieces.
First of all I emailed the place I got my eye ball watch and they told me to send it in and they will fix it. I got it back and it was working but this morning it wasn’t again. Apparently it stopped at 5:50 am. The other watch that just bit it was this cute little finger watch I got from Flax. I got it wet and it stopped. Then it dried and started again. Then it stopped again. Now it is working again but it is a pair to set and I know it will just stop again so forget about it.
Still trying to figure out what this all means 
Here is a certainty omen. A tax refund is always aligned to a car repair. Well it was in this case. On Thursday I noticed that my state taxes got deposited (less than week after I submitted them). When I left from work that day, my car which has been a bit growly lately (I liked it, it had character) went beyond the growl to “where the heck is my muffler?”
Took it in that night and my muffler is fine. Actually my muffler was getting a vacation because the pipe right before it rusted away and was gone which meant nothing was reaching the muffler. It is all fixed now but not before it asked for my state refund.
Tomorrow is Hollace’s birthday party. Wish me luck
edited 50 minutes later to add:
My watch is fine. While I was writing an email to the place that fixed it I realized that the stem was out. The stupid thing was just waiting to get set. All is good again with it. And I just reset the little ring watch as well. So now I have lot of time
This week found me falling into the same pitaful funk I had last week only I didn’t have anything stressful at the time.
Actually this week started out with an all day training on communication. I was feeling less stress about that than I was over the animation job I mentioned in my last post.
In this class I found out nothing new. I am a introvert but so seems most of CN. It was basically divided up in 4 quandrants, Extrovert/Thinker, Extrovert/Feeler, Introvert/Feeler (me) and Introvert/Thinker. I had a goodly amount of Introvert/Thinker in me too. My boss had the same score as me as well.
They reassigned the seats by your “color” and I was next to Dan (which I often felt was very similar to me in temperment). On the other side was Jim, the guy who shares the same start day with me. I was a little surprised cause I would figure he was an extrovert. Then there was Tim next to him which was really a surprise, I would call him a Extrovert/Thinker (opposite on the wheel). Later he told me he just filled in the answers with no regard to what they said. That explains things. He said he was cheating the system, yeah right
The class was alright and not too painful. Each of our 4 main team members all fell in each of the quadrants which I found interesting.
Anyway, on Tuesday, I nervously await word on what Rebecca thought of my fretted on animation. She loved it and had only minor changes. Phew.
By the end of the week I started to feel that anxious dread. On Friday however I started singing la-la-la in my head to drown out the self doubt and move past it. It seemed to work. That day I had to put on my creative hat and design something wonderful. I hemmed and hawed and procrastinated but as soon as I finally got started, it started to flow. Whether or not anyone else likes it, I don’t care. Don’t you like the turn around?
It is cold out. Zero degrees when I last looked. I never got out of my bathrobe, hunkering down. Hollace was sick with a sore throat and fever on Thursday and Friday but is fine now. I just made her write a note to Haley in Tennessee and you would of thought I was asking her to poke her eyes out with a fork. Oh the torture.
