I haven’t checked in here lately have I? Ooh, I just checked it has been 2 weeks hasn’t it?
Let see what is going on. The last week of July Hollace spent with her cousins in Appleton. That meant that RAW had the week off so he went to Indiana. That left me and Cloudy. I of course had a long list of things I could do but as usual I didn’t get to it.
On Thursday RAW came home so we went to the county fair. I think I took a lot of good photos from there. I plan on putting together an iPhoto book.
That Saturday I had a baby shower to go to then I headed off from there to Appleton to pick up Hollace. I am happily driving along when I realized I was on the wrong road up. I was heading up to Door County and not Appleton. I just added an hour to my time.
When I finally got to Appleton I entered a mad house. Along with Hollace and Cindy’s 4 kids, her sister-in-law has been staying there with her 4 kids. Needless to say Hollace seeked out a little alone time away from all of those kids.
Work is a still bit goofy. We are still trying to get use to the re-org. It is a sure thing that multimedia is moving back to J28. When is the question. They are so not close to finding space for us over there.
While July was slow for me work-wise, August will probably kill me. I have a big fancy nice budget job that for the most part has to be done in 2 weeks (more like 2 months of work condenced) I have known about this job since the begining of the year, so nice of them to be ready for it a few weeks before it is due.
The new guy was a bit too eagar when the branding group needed emergency help for a couple months. He piped up that sure we can do it. Well now he has been shipped off to sibera. We just labor loaned him to that department. Oh is he pissed and I am not thrilled either since we are so busy and I could really use his help even if he drives me crazy. His personality grates on me like Kathy’s did everyone elses. LOL
My Flickr addiction is cooling down just a bit when they implemented a new feature that is really a popularity contest. Actually the photos featured are usually pretty good but they are from the popular photographers. I feel inadequate. So now I have to revisit exactly why I am doing this in the first place. It isn’t to be popular is it? I have never been popular or with the in crowd and if I can’t do it with the photography crowd then I can’t do it with anyone. Oh waaaa, get over it.
Tomorrow we were suppose to go to Sherry’s for Nate’s HS grad openhouse. When RAW called her at work to ask about glasses and he found out she was in the hospital. I tried calling all day yesterday at home, her hospital room and Amy’s to no avail. I finally heard from her today. I guess her problems started after eating fried veggies at the fair. Her gall bladder went bad on her. She had surgery on it yesterday and is at home today. The open house is postponed until next week but I am not sure if I can go because I am planning on working all weekend to get that big job done.
Today I had the story teller that performs at ArtWorks come over for an emergency freelance job. He is putting out a CD and needed someone to layout the CD cover. Here is me to the rescue.
Monday I took the day off (the content of that big job doesn’t come in until Wednesday) for Hollace’s half birthday. We started a tradition last year where we have a special day to buy school clothes or in this years case, after school clothes since she has to wear a uniform. Lunch, shopping, a movie (seeing the Penguin movie) and maybe a haircut are all on the agenda for Monday.
Well I suppose that is it for an update
