I got four pages done last night which is a lot for me.  I normally have a hard time getting my ideas on to paper, but last night once I got going there was no stopping.  I haven’t scrapbooked since March and not since I started my meds.  I really felt energized and creative, I haven’t felt that in a really long time.  I posted the layouts on TwoPeas.  I still have more to scrap but of course now I’m distracted.  It doesn’t help that G4 is running a Heroes marathon today.

Fern and David are in town this week.  Tonight it’s dinner at the other Hannafin house, BBQ chicken, yum!  Phoenix is getting the leftovers from Dolly so it’s freaking hot and humid today.  So not fun but I guess that’s why we all have pools.  Pools don’t do much good when its this hot, it’s like swimming in bathwater.

I have SQL training next week which will get me away from the office for a few days.  Hopefully I can gasp the information and it sticks.  I really want to figure out if I’m cut out for programming.  The Cisco classes helped steer me in that direction.  What stinks though is that I let Snapper do all the work on our labs.  I really need to take the last two classes over or at least do all the labs so I can grasp the material.  I’m going to start taking on a bit more at work.  Hopefully, that will give me better ammo for a promotion next January.  The other path is project management.  Snapper thinks I’m perfect for that role, and he’s probably right, it is a natural progression for me.  The thought of having the success of a project hinge on me makes me ill.  That’s what what stressing me out in my last role.  If I made a mistake then someone might not get their bonus, and I hated that feeling.  I would much rather be told what needs to be done and get it done.  I do have project management training in two weeks, if anything it will help me have a better understanding of how things get done.

Have a safe weekend!
