Middle America's Worldview

Another day another dollar, so they say. I was able to get my yard done last night as well as the neighbors. So at least that was accomplished. I had to do it after the kids were down and I finished last nights blog. I stil need to get my weedeater running to finish up the edges though.

Late last night around 12:30 a.m. pacific, my daughter came into bed saying she spilt water on her bed. I blame myself, probably didnt have a tight enough lid on it. So we changed her bed out and by the time it was done, I was awake. I am normally a light sleeper anyway. I got up and started on the PTA officer webpage. When I went back to bed, I had a restless night. Go figure.

I took the kids off to school this morning and put some gas in the van on the way back. I plan to take our son to therapy this afternoon. I am looking at 2 scheduled conference calls today. I received a call from my supervisor yesterday and was asked a favor. To speak with our CIO of IS concerning a peer. She hasn't been in a full week since she started and moral of the team is down. She was out last Friday, I didn't know of it till Monday's morning call, which she was out Monday as well. When you consider everyone's plate if full working nearly 10-14 hours a day and she doesn't even care enough to call into her boss to say she's absent. That's gotta stink. Since she is not making deadlines her projects our put upon us, in turn we get even more overwhelmed with the crap we have to do. So I told her I would make a call this Thursday. This is when she returns. I needed to talk to her anyway. My evaluation hasn't been completed yet by her. It was done and turned in nearly 2.5 weeks now. We are supposedly waiting on her (CIO)anyway.

I already went through my coffee till it was cold and have my pepsi by my side. About to turn on Swordfish soundtrack and get going. On another note, I learned yesterday evening John Edwards was in Fort Smith today, speaking. My wife chides me saying I wouldn't attend that one, but I actually would had liked to go, if I had more notice. I would be intererested in what he has to say.
