overtime

What am I doing here? Well, I have a few things to do, then I will be leaving. Yesterday I worked a very long day. Sixteen hours. Of course, there was travel time in that, but, I didn't get home until midnight. We had tours of the town, meetings and two public process meetings, all in one day. It all went very well. I was asked to speak in front of both groups. It was good practice. I find that meetings like this are rather entertaining. Because a lot of people show up just to talk about themselves or to hear themselves talk, but not necessarily to find out what is going on. They have their own agenda's. And there were characters at these meetings. I was cracking up. A guy who has been crunching the numbers and thinks that the town is sitting on a gold mine and missing an opportunity. A woman who had to have been drinking by the way she talked and another woman who thought that the costs we were showing for certain spaces was too high, not understanding at all that it was a construction cost, not an equipment cost.

The weather was total crap yesterday. This meant longer drives. The drive up wasn't too bad, but the drive home was terrible, and late at night. The partner in charge of the project drove, but I didn't want him falling asleep at the wheel, so I was just chatting away and rambling to keep him awake. He must think I'm a nut.

I planned on sleeping in, but I woke up as usual, normal time. I did manage to fall back asleep for a whopping half of an hour. So, I got up and got in. I do have things to do on other projects. So, I'm slowly tending to them.

I'm going to leave soon though. I'm going to buy a spatula. I'm making pancakes for the family tomorrow. Mmmm... Why do I need a spatula? Because my mother is challenged in the kitchen. The woman doesn't cook well, and kitchen gadgets, utensils and cookware aren't her thing. I want them to turn out right, so, I need a good spatula.

Today is also hair cut day! Much needed. Just thinned and groomed. I'm going to continue to let it grow. Or rather, I don't want it any shorter and I'll let my hair therapist decide the rest. As I usually do.

Also, I need to get my tags for my car. I'm expired! So, a trip to the DMV is in order. Ugh. I think I need an emissions test too. Its all a pain. I need to have 'her' name taken off the title and registration. I looked online as to what I need and lets just say that it looks complicated. I'm hoping that by going in it will be easier. Let's hope so anyway.
