I'm continuing to be very busy recently. It was really stressing me out a few weeks ago, to the point where I was having trouble sleeping and eating. I'm over that now, not because I'm necessarily having less to do, but because I've decided to not let it get to me.
It's also been nice to look forward to my new computer. It's only a couple weeks away now, and in fact should be on its way here next week. Before it arrives, I'm trying to get the office in shape. It's such a stylish computer, I'd hate to sentence it to exist in the most cluttered room in our house. Not only would that detract from its look, but also I'll probably be dragging people back to the office to look at it whenever anyone stops by.
Another nice thing is that I recently got promoted. No sudden change in role or responsibilities is going along with it, but it's more of an acknowledgement of the work I have been doing recently. That takes a bit of the sting off of having way too much to do.
Posted by Rob Reid at September 20, 2004 01:10 PMCongrats on the promotion. Believe it or not, I've been busy too. On Thursday I went to the climbing wall for about 5 hours and got a great workout. Friday was going to be a rest day, but the weather was beautiful so I went to the Cornell ropes course and soloed an element that I've always wondered if I could do by myself. It involved being inverted twice and left me nauseous and exhausted. Saturday I went to the Gunks. My two partners didn't lead, so I led all the climbs and drove the whole way there and back (a total of six hours of driving). Had to teach two long classes Sunday. From 9:30am to 1pm was the regular climbing class, then from 6pm to 10pm was the introductory class for the Gunks course I'm teaching.
Today is a rest day!
