Some weak week structure

	AM	PM	EVE	REST
Sun	Church	Home	Family	Maybe
Mon	Work	Work	Family	No
Tue	Work	Work	Date	Yes
Wed	Work	Work	Game	No
Thurs	Work	Work	Chores	No
Fri	Work	Work	Free	Yes
Sat	Kids	Chores	Entertain	No

Seems doable, and it's actually based on actual reality

Why introverts don't run parties

So the Project Manager runs awesome parties.

And I don't.

But by gum, I have to learn. So this weekend I ran a star wars tea party for the Peanuts, and my goodness, I did a good job.

A few highlights:
 The PM let me do it my way, and gave me exactly the right amount of support.
 The kids had a good time
 I didn't commit any major mistakes, like I didn't forget to do anything or anything super absent-minded.

But

Afterwards

Man was I tired. I was _EXHAUSTED_

And that's why introverts don't run parties.

Rolling on....

So we go pretty much 7 days a week.

And I wonder if this is how people used to live...

Is it sustainable?

I don't even know.

In _theory_ on paper, we have 3 spare evenings a week.  But where do they go?

Busiest-week-ever Guilt

I have literally failed to prepare for this week so epicly that:

I"m supposed to be on-call, someone is covering for me and I don't know who
I'm IN THE SAME CITY as my Dad, and didn't know, and
I scheduled a major complex meeting for a day when I was out of town.

This is not so good.

Life is good when...

You're at work, which you love, with your kids, who you love, and you love that you can bring your kids to work on a Saturday and get caught up AND that you are only REALLY here at work working because the hockey game starts in an hour and you have seasons tickets and they're raising the banner for last year's championship and then your friends who have finally achieved a major life goal are in town to celebrate and see everyone...

Life is VERY good.

Wish my nuts-swelling would go down.  Stupid vasectomy

Gettin' old problems

Man, had my Vasectomy this week, and it has taken a toll on me!

I'm exhausted like asleep by 9 exhausted.

But it seems to make my wife happy.


Also, I'm good at my job.

Getting paid the big bucks

Does, on occasion, mean that I can't whine about how other people deliberately misinform or spread lies to inhibit my work.

Don't mean I have to like it though...
