Yesterday was a better day. Personally at least. Seems I offended a student somehow during my class though. After class I got an email from my boss saying one of the students complained that I was 'talking too much about non-work things'. Um. Okay. You know, I strive hard to find that balance between boring stuff instructor and casual kind of instructor. Some folks like the more personal class other get bent that it's not all by the book. Whatever. It's always tougher with an online class versus in person. In person you have a better chance of connecting. Online you're kind of just this voice in the wind and have to be careful how you do. Today is the last day with this group so I will just get through the material and be as professional as possible. I honestly thought I was keeping the chatter to a minimum but not enough apparently.

Personally we did pretty good last night. We ended up buying a couple of inexpensive bookcases, one for the front room and one for the office. We focused on the front room and went through a good 10-15 boxes. We have way more books than this poor little case can handle, but I felt better going through, consolidating some, unpacking most, and at least identifying what is in everything. I think that by this weekend we can have enough done that it won't feel so overwhelming.

We also had dinner with some friends which was nice. B is doing some side work for one of them for her wedding planning business. We needed to meet up with them to pick up the next batch of stuff to work on and they suggested we meet for dinner. We ended up at a Golden Corral buffet. Oh my. Too much food. I am paying for it this morning.

When we got home we put together one of the new bookcases and went off to bed around 11. I am still very tired and am looking forward to the weekend. Monday is a holiday which will help.

Tonight I am debating something. There is a company get together but it's 90 minutes away by car and 2 hours away by public trans plus car. I don't have to go, but... Yeah, one of those things. I will decide later.

Looks like my sister finally got some good news too. Her husband has landed a new job and they are able to move forward again. Very happy for her. She needs a break even more than me. I wish she lived closer so I could give her all these boxes.

Anyway, last day. Let's do this.
