I'm still here - insanely busy.
I'm still ruminating on all the discussion I had in Philadelphia with Suz and Joanna, and what's beginning to form in my head will get posted, but probably not for a little longer. What is falling out of everything we discussed is less "here's what was wrong with the process" and more "if someone has just done or said a, b and c, I might have taken different actions along the way." But I need time to get my thoughts committed to paper, and at the moment, time is what I have almost none of.
As typically happens when I think I'm getting caught up, every organization I work with has stuff going on that's eating what little free time I have. I had a KAC-DC meeting this week that has turned into a day-long weekend retreat either this coming weekend or soon after. I'm way behind on KF stuff, too: I have an eBulletin to get out, a print newsletter to work on, and a bunch of other little stuff. Plus an article to write about my experience at the inauguration which I really need to get done this week, tonight if at all possible. All this on top of work, which at the moment is about as miserable as it gets, depresses me.
It was tax weekend to boot. We have to file early to meet college and FAFSA deadlines, so I spent Saturday slogging through this lovely chore. It's done, they're filed, and the college-related paperwork is ready for the post office or fax.
I'm thinking a day or two off, not on the weekend and devoted entirely to catching up on all this, might be in order. Hmmmm.
4 points of view:
The conference sounds absolutely wonderful. I looked up the flier Friday and am trying to figure out how it would possibly work to be able to go, even for the weekend, but I think it wont. Since you will be there I might ask you to get me any handouts you can get on anything at all with reunion, etc. There are a few specific ones I have in mind, but I'll let you know.
if its any consolation, i am right there with you. havent done a thing since we met. thought alot about it but dont seem to get the oomph to sit down and work on it. i think for me, this is part intentional avoidance and part busy schedule. but i will. soon.
I've been doing my tax too, it gave me sore shoulders! I'm taking my books to the accountant today.
Hey, guys, hi and thanks for stopping by.
Suz, I actually have been doing a lot of thinking and am ready to start writing - at last, I've got a weekend free of home craziness, so I'll send you what I start. You unexpectedly gave me another idea today when I read your post from a couple of days ago about choosing which post to submit. I had missed "Care to Play a Game" when you first wrote it, and it has me thinking in many directions now, all circling around our theme.
M2R - definitely let me know if you'll be coming!!!
And Kim, so good to hear from you, I've been so bad about emailing - thank you for saying hi!!
