The week started out as one of those " lots of social functions stuffed into the evenings" weeks (well, functions and preparing for functions). Then the headless chickens had to stick a wing in, and the next thing I knew I was staying to do emergency data entry until after midnight last night. At least it wasn't this evening, when I have Cal Shakes tickets.
On the plus side, I get an unofficial comp day. On the double-plus side, my boss is letting me sub it in for one of my scheduled vacation days in two weeks. (Normally unofficial comp days are supposed to be scheduled within the week, but since they want all hands on deck for the moment, the winning argument was that I wouldn't be taking any additional time off.) So yay, I get one of my vacation days back!
So the week has been: Mon: prepare for doing the "shepherds purse" lecture in Cloondara, Tue: lecture (went over very well, according to the feedback), Wed: headless chickens, Thur: Cal Shakes, Fri: under negotiation, weekend: see the new HP in IMAX and finish the tunic for HH of the Mists. And that's why I haven't been posting any long philosophic essays lately.
