Busy as a bee

So this week and next week are my mad weeks. The Bethesda Green annual gala is this coming Thursday, and EVERYTHING has to get done immediately. So I've been working on the sponsor guest list, soliciting donations for the silent auction, and writing educational blurbs for our green living installations. I'm also working at the coffee shop five days a week, and still trying to run occasionally. Blech. I know that after the 11th it'll calm down quite a bit, its just rough right now.

I sent my resume into a business newsletter, they're looking for writers for their DC edition. I got an immediate request to send in a writing packet, so we'll see where that goes. It'd be nice to have a job where I can sleep until 7 instead of 4:30, and while commercial real estate is not quite where I envisioned heading, it would be interesting and a good opportunity. Plus, considering the increasing popularity and prevalence of LEED certified buildings, I would likely be writing a good deal about sustainable projects. Also, I'd get to live out the childhood fantasy of "Susanna Parker: Intrepid Girl Reporter" and I might even get to carry around a notepad. :-P

Coffee shop remains what it is. I worked less with Malingering Coworker this week, which was a plus. But the shift I did work with him was SO FRUSTRATING! It was the day before our weekly inspection, it wasn't that busy, and we were all cleaning. Except for him. Who stood there watching while Mohawk Coworker and I cleaned all the things. And then, when I gave him a specific task to do, he just went on his lunch and Mohawk Coworker ended up doing it anyway! GAH.

Today was half over before it began. Slept until 2, I think I finally caught up on sleep. Then we went to late lunch, then to Wal-Mart to get an EZ Up. We've got a Redskins game tomorrow, and it is supposed to rain buckets, so we figured some sort of protection from that might be nice. I also bought a Redskins hoodie, which I'm quite excited about. It is SUPER warm! This afternoon we've been hanging out, I worked on some stuff for Bethesda Green, and I made cornbread for the tailgate tomorrow. It just came out of the oven, and smells pretty tasty. Guess we'll find out tomorrow!

Now we're headed over to the craft cocktail bar for drinks and dinner, then probably to bed. Have to wake up early tomorrow for dem Skins!

work eats my soul
