A Long Two Weeks - 9:14PM, 2005/10/14
Today and tomorrow mark the middle of a long two weeks for me. Long because several people at work are out on vacation, meaning that I just worked 5 days in a row and will be working Mon-Sat next week. Throw in the Breast Cancer walk on Sunday and I get to get up early 7 days in a row. (With a brief respite on Thursday, as I work 1-9 instead of 9-5).
It’s not uninteresting work or even very taxing, but it is tiring nevertheless. I’ve found it nearly impossible to get to sleep before 2am, no matter how exhausted I have been during the day. Events just conspire to keep me up that late every night.
Next week I get to teach an Intermediate (read: I can’t call it Introduction anymore, but it so still is) Internet course to some of the patrons. I’m not sure how it will go. We call it internet, but really it’s the web, and if you want to get comfortable with the web, you just have to use it on a regular basis. At the very least I can help them figure out why they might want to do that. (My biggest carrot: The Internet is a GREAT place to answer all those annoying random trivia questions. Who sang that song? What are those lyrics really saying? Who was that guy in that movie? What year did so and so put out that book?)
