growyourwingsSo car troubles. Car started banging and make "weird noises" yesterday. Thank god for husbands. Bob offered to switch cars today. He confirmed I wasn't crazy and that something was messed up. He called me at work today saying he already had it in the shop. Of course the bad news is that we may be looking at a $700 price tag (ugh.) Figures, car is just about paid off. Shouldn't complain I guess--we just hit the 100,000 mile mark and really the car hasn't had any real problems until now.
Work stuff--will have worked 60 hours this week by the time the week is done. Already worked 12 hours today. Taking a quick break--then I have to finish an executive presentation before tomorrow morning. So probably 2-4 more hours tonight. Then depending on our leadership team's review of that presentation, I'll either have a relatively short day tomorrow (aka 8 hrs) or another long one. But NO MATTER WHAT, I ain't missing my SPN!
Then Friday we have an all-day Program Orientation session for our Information Technology team members. And as Program Manager, I gotta stand up off and on during the 4 hours and go Rah-Rah. Actually, I'm one of the instigators of this session and I actually think it's a good thing. It's just too bad we ended up scheduling it during the two weeks that we are in budget-hell and preparing for two very big executive presentations. We had a brief review of our slide deck for the orientation today. Between all the contributors the damn slide deck was 58 pages long!! *shudders* I was ruthless with my red pen and we got it done by 1/3 at least.
If I don't get back to work soon I'm going to crash. I just don't wanna...but got no choice.
