A somewhat groggy update
So here we are again, another night, another update. This must mean I'm on some kind of LJ kick or something as this is the second update in as many nights. Figured that I might as well since I'm sitting here not doing much of anything. Well, if you count dealing with my bank statements and watching some movie on Lifetime as something, I'm actually quite busy! Don't know about this movie though, it's a bit strange....from the looks of it the movie is a bit old, as I can tell by the age of the actors in it. It has Mark Walhberg as the psycho-stalker bf and Reese Witherspoon as the stalked gf. Alyssa Milano is also in it as the slutty best friend, go figure right? I've been laughing at Mark Walhberg's acting, as you can tell he's quite new to acting in this one. Don't really know if he's gotten any better, as I can't say if I've seen anything of his since!
Work today wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, minus being super tired. Today was the day that I was to review my final project reports with my Manager. Got in the office around 8, and within no time he was at my office, asking me to meet him in a conference room to go over the reports. Seems that the client's external auditor was stopping by soon to see the work we performed. Oh joy, a meeting with an auditor....ahhhh! Haha, I found it quite funny to be an auditor meeting with an auditor. Maybe I'm just a dork for that :-) Anyhow, I walked the Manager through the reports and he picked at them a little bit. Not as much as I thought he would however. I was really worried that he would say something like, "what the hell did you guys do on this audit...it is ALL wrong!!" Lucky for me, he didn't, and actually told me that he thought I did a good job given that it was my first attempt at writing a final report. I still have a bit to do to "tighten the report" up and some follow-up interviews with the client, but at least I got through the meeting today. Part of my day was also spent trying to figure out what I needed to do on my current project and what questions I still had outstanding. I'm finding out how crazy things can get with multiple things going on at once. Don't know how anyone else handles being on multiple engagements at once. Late in the afternoon I had a meeting with the client and it was pretty productive. I'll have to do a little work this weekend, but at least I got the bulk of my questions answered. Monday will be spent at a company meeting in Baltimore. That means that I will have to get up early to make sure I get to 30th Street Station for the Amtrak train. The office meetings are never very interesting, save for a few details on current engagements won. I'm wondering if they will speak to the loss of so many technology personnel. Hopefully they do b/c I think that it would be the wise thing to do. Also, I'm hoping that they wise up and start supporting people more, as they may begin to lose more staff. Tuesday I'm back in the office and back to my current project. At least I will have another person working with me from now on, which makes me very happy.
About to fall asleep, so this update will have to do for now....
