Hello again. It is now Wednesday night, or rather early Thursday morning. Had trouble sleeping last night. I think it was too bright in the room - stupid volleyball floodlights are on outside my window. Damn.
Still settling into my new routine. I'm not looking forward to getting UCTV stuff up and running again - a pile of past-due bills, one insurance one that's due this week, and I don't even have the journal for this year yet. That's gonna be one fun business office trip. I put on the enthusiastic-type face today at the Activities Fair though (or Involvement Fair, whatever), and tried to reassure the people that Dave was scaring away. Yes Dave, you scared a few of them. My vision for UCTV this semester....let's not worry about weekly meetings and future plans, let's focus on here and now. Let's be here for kids who want to put on shows, and have some fun putting our own stuff on. That's all. I'll make sure we all get paid, and get our bills paid on time. I'll take care of the files too. But those pointlessly long board meetings? Let's run our organization first, and worry about the formal structure and constitution, etc, later. You don't start building a house by installing windows, you start with the foundation. In our case, there's going to be some ledge to blast out of the way first. But we'll manage. I have a couple promo ideas myself, and I want those shot and running by this weekend.
So a word about my day yesterday, cuz this was funny. My desktop's not working, first off - it decided, after me installing Windows Service Pack 2, to no longer recognize a working Internet connection. I've tried everything I know and a few things I don't, and Sam looked at it too - no dice. I got my handy laptop for now, but I miss my 18" flat panel. Ok, so that's the computer situation - yesterday morning, I brought a cup of coffee back from the dining hall to my room, which I put on my dresser, and then knocked over into my open sock drawer. Later that day, after going to Wal-Mart and Buckley to have dinner with the girls, I'm bringing my car back to S-lot - going down a section that's pretty narrow, and there's a car coming towards me hugging the center. I veer right, and hit the curb with some surprising force - the damn thing was sharp instead of rounded. So I got a flat. I ended up not changing it, my buddy Ed took care of that. But now I gotta bring that to get fixed tomorrow.
So I got a lot on my plate right now. In the next two days, get the tire fixed, do this CA assignment thing and have a meeting with my supervisor, set up UCTV's financial stuff for the year and start the weeks-long process that ends in bills getting paid, finish the occupancy check for my floor (aka warm body count), deal with the puke situation in the bathroom (happened early this/yesterday morning, apparently), and put together my resume in good time for the internship meeting Friday. And classes/homework.
I ordered a couple posters today during class. I gave in and played with my computer during class.....it's so boring, but I DID take very comprehensive notes at the same time. So there.
Oh yeah, gotta go to the bursar's office too.
Fun post, eh?
