Meh.

It's been a long day. We got a new car -- patgreene has described adequately in her journal. Some haggling and last-minute changes, as usual.

I missed most of work, everything after 11am. I have slides due tomorrow, but will have perhaps an hour to do them. Sigh.

Skating lessons were OK... jumps were OK, spins are still nonexistant. Plus, I'm the worst skater in the Adult Freestyle class. All of the others are fine,

(no subject)

Amidst the illnesses, refinances, home visits, and car purchase this week... I've had to scramble to keep up at work. The air traffic project is OK -- we met today and selected the winning research proposals for this year. But my new drilling automation project is concerning me. I'm hosting our first meeting... here, next Monday, all day. I don't have a room, no agenda, and I'm not sure what I'm going to present for three hours, let alone have finished my slides. And I'm running the meeting... I know I'm good, I can pull this off... but it is still stressful to contemplate, currently.
