A lot happened yesterday. First, the morning was really rough. The class I am teaching yesterday and today is a private class for a commercial real estate company. They never sent an attendee list and I had no idea how many students. The other catch is that they wanted training on an OLD version of the product. Like one I haven't taught in nearly 4 years. Which means I needed an old environment. I haven't brought one of those up in years either. I struggled like hell yesterday morning to get one running. Finally got one up and running with 40 minutes until class start time. I start class and wait. Turns out my massive student list? 2. Two. Dos. Deux. Yep. Plus these two students are 900 years old. Computer skills are less than adequate for my tastes. To round it off, one is in a basement with worse internet than Australia. He's getting like a 1mb connection and is constantly behind. The other has only one screen and is swapping back and forth all day. OMG. It was awful.
During all that, I get confirmation that Texas is happening. I have to book 3 weeks straight of flights, hotels, etc. I only managed to get 2 of the three trips fully booked. I am waiting on the third flight and car because of price fluctuations. I am giving it until this weekend to see how the 3rd one looks. But I have two all set. From 3/1 - 3/20 I am gone with only one day home in between. Long enough to do laundry and repack.
THEN I get an email from Ticketmaster. Fucking Ozzy cancelled his tour. There goes my summer vacation. There goes my birthday plans. There goes time with the kid. The only cool thing is I still have the tickets. They had mailed me paper tickets which I can now frame.
Made chicken shake and bake for dinner. Went old school. Didn't have the energy to do much more. We worked on a puzzle together last night then went off to bed.
Day two of the same group, then one more group tomorrow. Since I am going to be living like hell for three weeks, next week I am not doing shit.
