Monday Roll Call
Good morning, all!
I'm at work till 4:00 or so today. It will depend on when Paul can pick me up and also on how many hours I want to put in. Still having car trouble, so I'm dependent on rides. My car goes into the shop tomorrow, so hopefully it will be fixed soon. And I'm hoping it's not too expensive!
This is my last week at this job, so things are a little weird. I don't have anything to work on other than file audits. Oh what fun! And this computer is acting weird---things are slow to load, esp. the PA board, icons are appearing twice.
I need to run some errands after work. And at some point I have to really buckle down and get some exercise in! I've been really bad about exercising the last few weeks, with other things going on. I miss it too---I feel so much better when I've exercised.
Ok, it's back to my file audits.
Have a great day, everyone!

Mornin' all!
I am working from home this morning (and yes, working from home includes a little time off to go to the gym mid-morning) then this afternoon I'm going to take Amtrak to Washington, DC. I am speaking at a conference tomorrow about emerging technologies in academics, and I'll be presenting a new technology platform which one of my teams built, and I managed the project. And YES, I am nervous about this!!! I am being asked to do more and more of these dog & pony shows at work, so I need to find a way to calm my nerves. But I guess it's a good thing that they're happy with how I do them.
I'm going to get to DC around 7:30, so my plan once I get there is to grab some dinner in Union Station, and then head over to my hotel for the night. My presentation is at 9:00 AM (ugh!!!!) so I'll need to rest up and then start drinking really strong coffee around 5:30 AM. Good thing there's a Starbucks right inside the hotel!
Have a great Monday, all!

Lesley,
Good luck with your presentation and your trip to DC! You'll find that the more you do them, the calmer your nerves will be. I used to have to do them a lot and the first ones were nerve-wracking, but after that they started becoming much more routine. You're an excellent speaker and have a great "public presence" so just take a deep breath, remember your sense of humor, and have fun with the presentation.

Thanks, Karen! I used to do quite a bit of public speaking in my former career and of course when I was a teaching assistant in grad school, but I'll admit, having time away from it has made me a little rusty! I am glad that my weight loss has made me more confident or else I don't think I could do this.
Good Morning Pa,
Kathy you will be in my thoughts and prayers tomorrow. Lesley you will be in my thoughts tomorrow as well, you will do just great. I am finally home for a few days. The thrift stores are my mission this morning, I need a few sweaters and a jacket. Then home to wrap a few presents, and try to stay warm. The heater is on the blink, sometimes it runs, sometimes it doesn't, has something to do with the blower. DH has scheduled an appointment for someone to come out and look at it. Have a great day,and stay warm.

Morning, Friends!
TOO many things going on today! Got to the gym this morning (LATE), realized I had no clue where my phone is (not good -it's also my organizer), came on into work anyway after working out because I was LATE. Called home and hubby found my phone and will be bringing it down to me (he's such a sweetie).
Coworkers got me roses for my birthday (wow!) and I brought in my own SF cake - peach/almond upside down cake. It LOOKS good - never made it before but hopefully it's tasty!
Then tonight is the final crit for my lost-wax casting class. We always bring in some goodies, so I made a second one of the cakes I baked yesterday. Long day, but will be good that class is over for the next month.
Tomorrow I took off and a friend and I plan to head to Willow Grove Mall (or KOP) to try and finish up XMAS shopping.
