Crazy Times
I got one evening to play online this week. Tuesday night belonged to work, last night I went to a friend's house for a non-halloween party, today is Thursday (OH CRAP I haven't studied my verses!), and I'm skipping town this weekend for a friend's wedding. I'll be back Sundayish, probably in the wee hours.
My clock says 3:39 pm. I have been awake for at least twelve hours today. Yeah. I don't know why. I simply woke up at 3 something, and my brain was so busy that nothing could get me back to sleep. Today was also the monthly breakfast, so I at least had free breakfast, courtesy of Tri-Tip Mike. And coffee, courtesy of the other coffee place in town. Coffee was a profoundly bad idea, for I have been high strung and shaky all day. Woohoo.
The newsletter finally arrived yesterday at closing. It should have been out last week, but we were waiting on some articles. Oh well. So I had to get it out the door today. After breakfast. I didn't get to the office until 9:30. I still had copies to run. I had no helpers and no collating done. I started the copies and made a few phone calls. Voicemail. I left a message on the first, but not the others. I finally got two people who would arrive around 12:30. The Boss was headed to a meeting where I knew some of our people would be, so I asked him to ask one of them.
At 11, I had one couple who came because of the voicemail I left. I had Charles, because he just showed up. Another couple came after the meeting. A half hour after that, the person I asked for from the meeting was there, as was the first of the phone contacts. Mr. Historical Society and The Boss were also helping. The conference room was in chaos. The work spilled into the front room. At 1, the whole mess was done, and all I had to do was the paperwork.
Wow.
