I have had an exciting week so far. Last Saturday was supposed to be the last day of data collection for one of my projects, but late Friday, we got word that the contract was extended for 3 weeks. Since I have been successful at this project, I am part of the lean mean data collecting team...
On Friday last, I got an e-mail from my SIL Missy, with news of another Broadreach Adventure Tour for Talis, that needed an answer by Monday. Not Monday afternoon, or late afternoon, or even mid-day, but as I found out this am, FIRST THING today.
My other NORC project has been waiting for me to finish the other project, so they could have me full time... but now have to share me, again. Tuesday next is transmit and subsample time, so The work I end up doing on Wednesday may end up setting up interviews for someone else to complete while I am gone.
And, this weekend is Balticon. I am driving a car-full of people; three teens, and another friend, leaving Thursday morning, hopefully arriving in time for food at 5 before truck unloading begins. It will be a very full day.
Our BRV ended upon the side of the road down in Sagamore last Sunday, diagnosed this week with needing a new transmission. SO, we need an other vehicle, so this afternoon saw us at the DCU, getting pre-approved for a(nother) car loan, and looking several low-end cars at the Shrewsbury KIA dealership. I have no idea when we will end this saga, but probably not as soon as Spencer would like. Hopefully we can make a decision before I leave on Thursday, but...
The dog needs to be taken to Chelmsford to stay with Dakota for the weekend. When all depends on when I can get to work and hopefully not too late, although we can bring the dog there when no one is home, as the kitchen door will be open, and we can leave Winnie in the kitchen with their older dog.
Thank fortune there is someone to cover for me and be "the fish lady" at Eastleigh Farm this Friday.
Farm day is usually Thursday for this year. I am working four hours tomorrow, to make up for some of the time I am missing on Thursday. I cannot work next Tuesday, because I have NORC project work to do for sub-sampling, but also because Talis has a friend coming on from Chicago, who lands at Logan at 9, am, Tuesday.
There may be a side trip to DC on Thursday evening or Friday morning to visit SIL and MIL/Grandma... I should know tomorrow. *sigh*
So, I am a bit overcommitted and out of sanity and spoons this week. Hopefully next week will calm down. June brings Baitcon, and bat mitzvahs and weddings, and then ConCertino. July might have more free time.
I have been employed for 5 months so far this year, and hopefully will be employed for the rest of the year, on a variety of projects. This is better than last year (employed for 5 months total), and hopefully I won't jinx myself. Keep fingers crossed.
