Aug. 15th, 2014 02:24 pmBefore I went on vacation, I made a list of things I wanted to either remember or actually do something about when I got back from vacation. Silly me. I came back and immediately got handed two new projects on top of all the other catching up and continuing stuff I hadn't seen for two weeks. So far one item has come off the list and it hasn't even really come OFF yet.
On Monday the new DMD students officially arrive and start to get oriented. That's one of those things that starts at oh-god AM, but it's only two days once a year, so I can do that. And at least this time I have half a suspicion of what I'm doing; last year I had been in this job for a grand total of two weeks when the new students showed up and I was just about capable of "stand here and hand these out, one to a customer". It's nice to have a clue this time.
I was going to go whale watching on Saturday, except last week I thought "Ugh, I need a haircut." Almost every time I think that, I end up having a haircut appointment soon (I make them three months in advance and usually forget exactly when I made them for). And lo, I have a haircut appointment early on Saturday afternoon. That means that if I'm going whale watching, I have to go on one of the really early ones and/or get back exactly on time. When does that happen? So, no whale watching for me this weekend. Maybe next Sunday. It is going to happen before it gets too cold and the whales all go elsewhere, though. Because I said so.
