Everyone else was sucking up the awesome...

So, work was ..special. I do not like being told I need to bring my laptop on my VACATION. ASSHATS. Got home after being a ninja and then had music practice which for me went really really well. I guess that was all of the bandwidth I had...cause after that everything I touched turned to ass. I must remember...drinking is for arts other than scribal. Scribes are coffee powered. Grump. By 11pm I finally got some stuff that wasn't crap which was painting on some shields. The boys (mel, ed and bill) with that artistic drafting talents of Ari did really awesome painting. We have 1.5 shields to go and some inking.

I'm now questioning my judgment to restring my viola for next week. My girl tends to be a temperamental bitch after a restring and well, doing that and then subjecting her to the elements sounds like a very bad plan. I'll take my strings with me but I'll only do it if I break one. They still sound good but are very old. So, that is one thing off of my list.

I've gotten a bit accomplished this AM at work so I'm much better than I thought I was but still lots to do. I need to finish my fighting coat tonight and shield work so I can still so some more scroll work tomorrow for Ari. Saturday will mostly be pulling stuff to pack and getting the house in order. I also need to do laundry tonight to make things nice for coming home.

Oh, and part of yesterday was wrestling a box of my stuff to the car so I can decorate my new cube to prevent squatters. I had to kick a guy out of it yesterday...that was annoying.

Dunno...its been weird. bleah. Luckily I get to go to the gym later.

Were you able to get them to back down from that "need to bring your laptop on vacation" thing? Do they at all get the idea that you're going to be CAMPING, not hanging out in a hotel with wifi, etc?

Asshats, indeed! Grr grumpy face on your behalf!

Wi Fi doesn't matter we have cell cards for our laptops..I did comment that I don't think cell service where we would be camping would be that good. I'll find out after my 10am today if they were serious.

You're camping and it's probably going to rain, which means I hope they're prepared to replace the laptop after it gets wet.

Bah, I didn't even think about aircards (even though we provide them to half of our field users. Ha! Me = dork).

I hope you are able to help them pull their heads out of their asses. If you have to take your laptop, you shouldn't have to use your VACATION time!

In truth it could be worse, last year my approved time off for Estrella was cancelled with a week's notice so I could train my back-up...

That said, I've realized that laptops are the bane of the working man. I had one in every job up until this one, and I thought I'd miss it. The truth is that being able to go home and know for a fact that I don't have any work to do while at home is quite liberating.

The shields are looking totally BA. With line work they will be even sweeter.
