Today was actually a very hectic day at work. There was lots to do, but the big issue was the stuff I was scheduled to do just took up so much time. I had my company orientation today. It took up about 3 hours of my day. I know i have been at the place for well over a month but they don’t do orientation that often so this was mine. After the orientation I had about an hour to get stuff out of the way before I went out of the office for the rest of the afternoon to visit our architects. We are working to look at renovating the office so we were visiting them to get some presentation. It was productive but time consuming. While all that was going on I had at least two other research project dropped on my lap that I don’t know when I will find time to look at them before other schedule activities come up next week.
On top of all that I gave myself a due date of tomorrow for two proposals I have to write up. One of them is basically done, and the other is not even started. I guess when it rains it does pour!
Since the world is really small, the architect we use happens to be in the building of an old company I worked for. I emailed one of my friends still there and he was around so on the way out I dropped by to say hi. I got to see about a half a dozen people I know. It was good to catch up.
When I was done visiting I still had to go back to my office to finish up some things before I went home. I ended up not leaving the office until after 6:30.
I didn’t do anything spectacular for dinner. I also called my sister to try and help her fix her computer network at her place. It turns out her network was fine but my brother in law needed help setting up some Apple Airport Express points. I never have done that before so I couldn’t really help them over the phone. We ended up talking for a while, but she had to go because my nephew isn’t sleeping through the night so she had to get to bed early to get some sleep before he woke up later. They think he is having an issue with an ear infection so he is having trouble sleeping. I feel so bad for the little guy!
