Where In The World Is Sum1?

Still At Home

Date: Week of July 22^nd


Locale: Central Illinois


         A short entry here.  The month of July has been a pretty relaxing one for me.  I've not been scheduled to deliver a class due to a scheduling error.  One might think they are keeping me idle for a reason, but that's really not the case.  Next week, and the rest of the year  are pretty busy.

         I actually decided to take some PTO this week, and spent it here at home relaxing.  But, I still couldn't get away from work stuff entirely.  I spent an hour on conference calls Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday, then another 5-6 hours reviewing the files we talked about in those calls.  So much for PTO, huh.  To be honest though, the only reason I scheduled PTO is so I wouldn't have to worry about what to do this week.  I knew I'd end up working.  The curriculum development team in Poland has done an excellent job in modifying the courses I'm responsible for, which is why I was on the calls, and reviewing the curriculum.

In Closing

         Next week I teach an on-line class from home, then head out to Torrance California for a class, then Schaumburg for class delivery there.  See, I told you it will pick up!    Last August will find me in San Diego, and after Labor Day, I have classes in Maryland, Battle Creek Michigan, two in Denver, and Philadelphia.  Of course I can't seem to stay away from Schaumburg, so have a couple more classes there.  With three weeks that can be filled, my time between now and years end will be busy.  Plus, I'm already scheduled for classes in 2020!  Two weeks in Folsom, California, and two weeks in Algeria.  We'll see when those actually happen, and if they'll stay on my schedule.  Til next time, be good to yourselves and those you love, and WRITE!
