Yesterday turned into quite an adventure on the work front. First off, I sat through two separate webinars, one by our company and one by a 3rd party firm. Both them annoyed me. I did learn a few things in the first one, but in both cases the amount of sales crap that gets put into these things is crazy. I don't know how customers sit through this. But that wasn't the rough spot. Those were okay. Again, I did learn some stuff and am not complaining. It was the emails received during the webinars that irked me. I wasn't supposed to have a class today and now I have two. An 8:30 - 12:30 session then a 1:30-5:30 session. The instructor who was supposed to teach today can't because they are doing demolition and construction work in her building. Lovely. Now I have to be last minute ready for two sessions. The first morning session isn't horrible and has five people. It's the afternoon one that's bugging me. Two people and now I am stuck working until 5:30 on a Friday. Whee. On top of all that, the UK folks responded. Not the way we'd like. They want more changes before the classes go live the week of Thanksgiving. Only problem is I now have two days total to make any changes and the source data isn't ready. The longer there's a delay on the source data, the more it puts these deliveries in danger. I keep trying to tell the PM that and he is like "well that's this client". No, that's not how it works. Get shit done or I won't be able to deliver the class asshole. While doing all of this, I was also dealing with walking through the installation and configuration of a new instance for our new class I have been working on all week. Needless to say, it was a crazy day.
Finished around 4:30 and B wanted Mexican. Okay. Off to our cheap place we like. After we went to Home Goods and Kohls to wander around. B found two new glass jars for the kitchen and I got a Christmas sweater that she wanted me to have. She is not one of those women who tells their husband what to wear or how to dress so if on the rare occasion she sees something she wants me in, I have no problem buying it. It's a purple sweater with a reindeer head. It's not horrible.
Got back home around 8, watched a little tv, played some video games, went to bed around 11. Just got to get through today. Got paid today and need to do bills. Going grocery shopping tomorrow. We get an extra hour this weekend. Yay? I am ambivalent to the time changes. I am more scared about Tuesday and the thought of President Trump. Even the words are scary. Sigh, what a wonderful time to be alive.
