On the academic front, I was able to churn out a passable book report on the riridiculous memoir on Friday. Got it in by noon. A literary triumph. Today - need to do that damn on-line quiz, but first should peruse the actual course material on which the quiz is based. I've got a solid 80 in the course so far - so feelin ok going in. Also need to mastermind a small Italian prose piece for Wednesday and commence the studying for the midterm next week. I can't fake this class so MUST exert some effort. However....
I am in Atlanta for the long weekend. Yay. Fully expect the diet to be shot to hell, as I understand that there is a trip to the Cheesecake Factory planned. Can't wait for the trip to the biggest aquarium in the world. Love seashorses, so have to charge up the camera. So - how can one be expected to study? This will take some solid time management discipline on my part.
But what continues to plague me is that damn online video.....the bid is now $32.50. Its all there online folks..."Shameless - the art of Disability", 72 minutes long. More news on my homework woes as things progress.
This week may also be the new job week. Reference checks are happening as we speak....this may mean good things, but I also now have St. Mikes hospital recruiting nibbling on my hook. They boast a whopping 4000 samples a day in the lab......a shade less to manage than my habitual 80000 per day, so maybe I have the requisite amount of expertise......we shall see. Skippy and Simone also landed last week so thats super exciting. All is righting itself with the world. If all else fails, my contract is extended till June here at the bureaucratic nexus of the universe.
I have also started to design a new stained glass opus that I have been contracted to do. I'm tinkering with great things. Do I go abstract? Do I go traditional.......maybe 'tradistract'.
In transit news, the Yonge line is unexpectedly down today. TTC has stationed quite possibly the 2 worst people outfitted for customer service. One with her cane - clearly a bitter WSIB early return to work candidate, and another lad clearly a tunnel digger without a shovel, leaned up against the inbound turnstile, screaming random instructions to people causing mass confusion. And when all is said and done, there were still people standing on the platform waiting for the Yonge train. It ain't comin people. Keep up.
Last week after Italian class I happened down the wrong hall in search of a shortcut to the parking lot at Mohawk...heres where I ended up:
Isn't that nice? A place to pause and reflect on why you bothered to take Italian this semester. But it was a locked door at a time when I needed it most. I need to start doing my reflecting before 10pm.
So thats where we find our hero starting off the week. Need to do some work-work, and then some miscellaneous work. In the words of Dr. Laura:
Lets go take on the day!
