New Consulting Job
Well, I haven't posted in a while...again. However, I have some good news this time. I have a consulting job. It's short term...only until March 7th and I don't get 40 hours, but I get paid more than double what I was getting paid as a temp or a sub, so the fact that I won't get 40 hours isn't that bad. Anyway, it's helping to design math games (some of them are web-based and others are offline games to be played in the classroom). It's been pretty good so far. Since Tuesday I worked almost 19 hours, so that's good. It's kind of strange because I'm working with one of my former co-workers (actually my old director) and 2 people who I've never met. I've talked to one of the other people on the phone, but everything else has been done over email. On Wednesday and Thursday I thought the other teammates were never going to go to bed. The emails just kept coming. There are nice parts because I can work at different times during the day and take breaks and do stuff during the day. There are negatives too, I don't really have a lot of interaction with other people, so it gets kind of lonely. But, Lucy has been a very sweet kitty lately and sits by me for a good part of the day, as long as I stay on the couch. I guess that's the latest on my job. I'll let you know how I feel about it in a few weeks. But, at least I'm making some money again.
In other news...we've kind of rearranged and cleaned up our office. We were making space for me to get a table to sew on and to set up the card table so I can do Creative Memories stuff. Chip also set up our laptop so we can watch tv in there. We haven't actually used the room for these purposes yet, but we also just finished cleaning everything up 2 days ago.
Also, we've been working out like crazy. We're both trying to lose some weight and get back into shape. So, we've been going to the fitness center (which isn't that great, but it's free) and working out. We've worked out every night this week. We're working our way up to working out for an hour 3 nights a week and at least a half hour every other day. We'll see if this keeps up, but we've done pretty good so far. Chip decided he would rather work out a lot more and eat pretty well, but not actually count points like in Weight Watchers, as we've done in the past.
I guess that's enough for now. If I think of everything else exciting, I'll let you all know. Hope you have a good weekend. We're going to a choir retreat tomorrow and Chip made his first Angel Food Cake to take with us to the retreat. We'll let you know how it turns out.
