SO…yesterday I sat in my office most of the day.  I had 4 students signed up for conferences.  The first came at 11:00.  We chatted, then I worked at my desk until lunch.  After lunch, I had 2 conferences (at 1:20 and 1:40).  Then the next one wasn’t until 3:20.  So I ran some errands.  I went to the Student Center to get a piece of mail and stopped into my mom’s office to see the flowers my dad had sent her on Monday (the card says “Surprise! Jack”  How fun is that!).  We wandered in the bookstore for a couple of minutes before I headed back to my office to meet my student…only to find a note on my door saying he had moved his meeting to Thursday because he couldn’t be there at the time for which he originally signed up.  For about 30 seconds, I was annoyed…that piece of information would’ve been useful over an hour before…when I could’ve gone home at 2:00!  But at least I got to hang out with Mom for a few minutes…which is always fun!

I think I’m developing a cold…it’s coming on very slowly…but I think it’s a cold.  So by the time I got home yesterday, I was tired and fuzzy (ie, my brain wasn’t really sharp).  So we went to Appleby’s for dinner.  Then Eric wanted to go to a camera store to show me the two cameras he’s comparing.  I only understood about half of what the guy was saying…but Eric got some good information!  Then we went home and watched a bit of tv.  I decided not to do anything I “should’ve” done, so I took a bubble bath and was in bed by 9:15.  That’s a good night, right there!

  1. It is hard to keep your life on track when your work depends on other people’s responsibility. It sounds like you handled your annoyance very well! At least he stopped by to leave a note instead of just being a no-show!
