What now?
I guess I am so relieved that one class ended last night that my brain told my body it was fine to sleep a little longer this morning. I can’t remember turning off the alarm clock. I don’t remember grabbing my phone that is a back up alarm clock and turning it off as it was ringing. I ran so fast out the door I don’t have my phone. It is still in my bed waking up the dogs. Anyway, glad my wife came in to check on me at the exact moment I needed to be pulling out of the driveway. I probably would not have gotten out of bed for another hour if she hadn’t woken me up. What a way to start the day. So, no phone or the homework material for my other class is all at home.
Last night my design team presented to the client the final product. We are a little laid back group and managed to pull it all together. The design looked good. I would through a link here but my flash drive is at home. We had all the document; program, brochure, logo design, poster, and letterhead along with the website and a style sheet ready for the client. I think they liked having the style sheet because it explained the colors we used in our design and the fonts.
Individual projects
We also had to turn in our individual projects. I have spent about four days a week up at the lab and showing my professor what I have been doing. Because of that I was able to turn the project in fairly early last night and go on. The other guy in my group has also been working hard on his individual. We both work about the same; go from one project to the other, vacillate between documents. Colin is a good group member and not very stressed.
Stress
I, on the other hand, am a stress ball. Earlier in the week I was quite stressed. My shoulders hurt from tensing up. I am trying to not get so stressed. I do well when things are going fine. But, then there is the thought about what is not done or going well. The stupid thing is that earlier in the week when I was stressed each of the projects were practically done. Tuesday was just a day to print the stuff. Yesterday all we had to do was hand it in. I see why a numbing of the pain is sought by many people, including myself’ anything to get the mind off the stressor.
About the online course
Not only is it an online course; it’s about the internet. I am learning things I should have learned a long time ago; like how to build a webpage or what is HTML. This is why continuing education is important. The only thing bad about taking this class is that I am a little behind in the work. Since I have been taking two classes at the same time one of the classes has gotten a lot of attention. The online course is also hard to understand. People talk on the discussion board about things that I have not done yet. When was that due? Oh, check the assignment due date. Some things have to be FTPed to the class server, not just turned in on the assignment turn in page. Upload all the programs needed for the class. Now I have programs on my computer I don’t want.
Wanted: Last Day
Jason walked out of here yesterday never to return. His last day was unlike other people. He actually wanted to leave. In fact, he gave his two weeks notice. I want my last day here. I want to walk out the gate never to return. I want a new job that I enjoy instead of being in this little corner of a warehouse entering in data all day.
Bad news
My wife just called and left a message because another employee was on the phone yacking with his wife. I love hearing them argue about stuff two inches from my ear. This is not a big office. Denise said David has to have another surgery. He went to have a test yesterday and they already know.
I’m ready to go home.
