Work-Week

November 18, 2011

And what a week it has been.

I am an engineer, but I don’t do too much engineering any more.
I am supposed to do planning, but anything that I planned to do this week did not get done.

This week I did everything from act as a pseudo General Manager to Human Resources to Receptionist.

Really. I performed all of those functions at some time during the week.
Sometimes way more than I ever wanted to. (Receptionist can be fun.)
And that’s about all I can say about that.

Today’s work was a seminar.
About setting rates.
And I was about that excited about it.
It did have some interesting bits, and I managed to sneak in a review of some other work for a bit.
They provided a pretty good lunch, and there was time enough to take a stroll around the grounds of Bellevue City Hall.

Because it was in downtown Bellevue, I took the bus.
Carl gave me a ride to the starting point in the morning. Raining and cold, so that was a nice gesture.
Coming home no choice but to walk the less than one mile home.
Not a bad walk.
It was raining again, and then it turned into bouncing white rain showers.
Not sure I would call it “snow”, and it didn’t quite qualify as “hail”.
