My morning started off as a comedy of errors yesterday. I get up and check email expecting to see one from my boss with server info, nope, so I start stressing. Well, around 5:30 I get a message from a co-worker telling me that the class was reassigned to him back in like Feb. WTF? Comes to find out back in Feb we reassigned him the class because I was supposed to be out of town this week but my boss forget to 'un-assign' him and give it back to me. And he is an hourly employee; if he doesn't teach, he doesn't get paid. He's our equivalent of a substitute I just realized. Anyway I let him keep the class. I offered to take a couple of days as PTO this week but my boss said no, it's his fuck up, he will find something billable for me. Okay. You do that. Until then, I sit.

I did spend yesterday working on getting myself enrolled in some server classes in May. I will be driving up to Seattle for five days of Tableau server training. It's going to cost about $4k with hotel, car, and class, but all it will take is one student to take the classes I create from this and it pays for itself. We should be able to offer server classes in Q3 as a result of this training. Bring in another six figures for the company.

The reason it took all day to get registered is we are partners and I had to get a partner code. Otherwise the classes would be $3500 versus $2100. Big difference. Multiple phone calls and emails were needed to track down the right person with the partner code info. But I got it done, booked my hotel, and am ready to go.

For dinner I made shrimp scampi. It was pretty good. B had her group last night and was gone from 6 until 9:30. I watched some tv while she was gone, we talked about her group, then I went to bed.

Today I might go to DMV but I was planning on Friday already so I think I will keep that. I will review the manual one more time today. Maybe tomorrow I will go. We'll see.
