(A) Those People

I toddled off to Boulder today, among a few scattered flakes of snow and an abundant accumulation of flaky drivers.

I'm not one of the world's hotrods. I mean, I couldn't be, not in a 16 year-old Toyota. At no time am I the fastest thing on four wheels. Still. I do expect, when driving down a highway posted for 65 MPH, I do expect that every now and then I will get out of second gear.

Hmph.

Fortunately I'd given myself ample time (and then some) for this morning's drive, so I arrived at the Unspecified Client Location 30 minutes before I was to meet Bernie & The Gang. I read reception room magazines for a while (the New Yorker has some good content, but it's so hard to find among the ads) and was about to be reduced to pacing the halls when Bernie finally appeared, 20 minutes late.

Still, we had more than enough time to "go over our plans for the training" in the 20 minutes we had before the session was due to start, since our plans consisted of the 15-item agenda we'd all received via email earlier in the week. (It consisted of such complex items as: Show them: (1) creating files; (2) deleting files; (3) copying files.)

One of our three trainees was subsequently 15 minutes late. The day was not starting with a professional snap but in spite of that (and because of the gods of open-source software who design really usable programs), we were out of there 20 minutes early.

So, that's over with.

(B) Bits of Work!

I have a few more hours of work I can do for Bernie and Buehler sent me a humongous file that he wants me to mine for him (I haven't opened it yet and have no idea how much work it will be), so I'm set for free-lance projects for the next week.

And they both paid me! Hoorah! (Note to self: Take checks to bank!)

(C) Employment Potential

I have an interview on Monday for that job the R.C. suggested me for. (To be more specific, I have an interview with the service that's screening applicants for that job.)

Nothing else to report at this time.

(D) Miscellaneous Other Stuff

Today the R.C. is off working at her own temp job.

I'm baking cornbread.

The mountains are supposed to get another foot or two of snow overnight, but Denver is going to top out at 3" sometime overnight. I spent a fair amount of time driving through fog/low-lying clouds on this morning's commute, but to be honest it's not really all that cold out there. Just--gray.

I'm glad it's Friday afternoon. What with one thing and another, it feels like it's been a long, hard week.
