So I finally got caught up on posting all of the cross stitchings I did over my vacation.
Huzzah!
I woke up this morning to a phone call from John. He wanted to talk to me about completing the Computer Animation degree online and transfer credits. Stuff like that.
We talked about the money he owes me for the laptop I gave him while we were in Vegas together. I should be getting that money on his next paycheck.
I’m most likely going to be cancelling my WoW subscription since I’m not playing it, and I would rather not set $15 on fire each month.
Honestly I’m feeling good about the work I am doing, so I don’t feel like I am missing out by not playing the game.
Ari finally messaged me yesterday about meeting with Donna, so we got our schedules worked out. I emailed Donna to see when we could all three meet, but got an automatic replay saying she will be out of the office until the 16th.
At least she’ll have the email when she gets back, so for right now that’s on hold. I’m ok with that. At least I know where I stand instead of being in some nebulous area. I can expect a response shortly after the 16th if not on that day. Donna is good about getting back to me.
Jarrett messaged me the other night saying that he should be getting back paid soon. He was supposed to have been switched over to salary, but they kept him on hourly these past few weeks and were screwing him on hours, which is part of the reason he wasn’t able to pay the full expenses.
He said that I am a priority and that he’ll pay me back.
He messaged me at 2 in the morning, which normally wouldn’t be an issue, but I had just fallen asleep.
I told him that I was pretty sure the messages were good things but that I was too tired to process them at the moment and that I would re-read them in the morning. I also said good night.
He replied with, “Good night pretty lady.”
I feel like I am staring at a snake, coiled and ready to strike out at me. I have its attention, and that isn’t a good thing.
I don’t want advances from him. And I don’t want to have to fend him off. In a why the pretty lady comment feels violating.
I replied in the morning after I woke up saying thanks for the info, and that any news was better than no news. I haven’t heard from him since then, which I’m ok with.
Last night after I got home I started listening to Eat that Frog. It’s a book about productivity and time management. I haven’t learned anything new so far. But I have a few ideas that I’m going to try out.
I stitched for a bit after I ate dinner, while I was listening to the book. I didn’t get much done, but I’m glad that I took even the short 20 minutes I did to make a small amount of progress.
I have PCC critiques today at 5pm, and after that Tre wants to talk about scripting. Then I have SAL lab at 9pm.
So roughly 5 hours worth of time to sketch and do my assignments. Maybe more depending on how SAL goes. Frank is normally the driver, so I might be able to eek out more time in there. It all depends.
So overall a good night along with a good morning.
The daily prompt has me introspective, but in a good way.
I feel a little slow since I woke up before I was ready to (stupid phone), but I still feel good. I feel like I’ll be able to get through the day.
I’m really looking forward to tomorrow though. My first weekend after coming back to work from vacation. : )
