Onward and Upward, ALMOST Over and Out
This begins the first day of my last week of teaching for the semester, and "excited" is my middle name today! Although I have, for the most part, genuinely enjoyed this semester, I am soooooo ready for it to end. It's time to move onward and upward, although just where those locations are, I can't be sure at the moment. However, I am definitely ready for the journey and even have a few ideas about what to do with my copious spare time while I am away from teaching.
Between some especially nasty seizures and episodes of the third season of Buffy, I spent the weekend hammering out entries for our business blog, writing and emailing our December newsletter, chasing links for our Squidoo lens, cleaning photos of new products for listing purposes, listing more than 100 items, adjusting shipping times and rates on items already listed, updating the website, and managing email correspondence with customers. No sense in whining over a seizure or two, I say, and I seem to work more productively while trying to avoid having them. Ali spent his time painting the offices in both of our warehouses, lucky man!
The crunch of the holiday shopping season has definitely arrived, so much of the day at the office will be spent buried in the paperwork associated with orders needing fulfillment. Because I have slept only 3 hours, it should make for an interesting day both in class, where I will oversee peer response on the assignment for which so many students were not prepared last week, and at the business. Thank God for the office futon on days like this one!
