MERCY! Busy weekend with JP bowling in the City tournament all weekend and getting ready for the Safety Conference this week which includes two live interviews and launching a "Person in the Street" promotion. Putting together interview questions for 60 second slots we will use for advertising. As I am covering several events, I have to assure my roving reporters have what they need.
This is a whole thing as I have to attend the keynote to take notes to interview her later. I have a back-up script based on her resume and program she sent me a copy of, so should be alright. This is also tricky as last year I conducted an entire interview and when I reached over to end the interview, I heard the immortal words "Recording Started" OOOPPPS. Two attorneys too! But they were nice enough to let me reinterview at a later date.
I've invited student interns to stop by as an audience so they can basically, "see how the sausage is made" on the podcast. Then one is assigned to me Wednesday morning to hype the podcast. Though our experience with our students, college aged mind you, are they are not terribly verbal. Well, they are in the wrong profession as we safety/health folks are a talkative bunch. That is trying to talk someone into or out of something most of the time. My daughter calls me negative, but 40+ years of assessing potential problems makes one a tad tiresome. The student's first name is Waymond so I have no idea if I'm getting a man or woman, puppy, kitten aardvark. But I shall embrace the mentoring opportunity.
Fun fact. The office set up my badge which due to my long association has a number of ribbons noting different affiliations. However, instead of a Board member ribbon, they attached Board Chair. Golly is that guy going to be pissed-can't wait to see his reaction. There will be drama.
BUILDING ON Also had a second bathroom bid, landscaper, roof repair and gutter cover install as well as dealing with the roof "shovelers" taking up my week. Big news, we accepted the second bid which was roughly half the cost of the first one. And the builder we chose is always the one we look forward to on Parade of Homes, as his houses are so beautiful. So, the adventure begins. Timeline was much saner as well. A lot of choices to make in next couple of weeks.
To stay organized I keep folders of significant projects. Which came in handy when I was scoping responsibility for some roof repair. The roofer did not have the records going back that far but the OH gleefully told him, "oh she has her copies" - Lol.
IT'S JUST A GAS After consulting my Gas Buddy app, the best price was Shell in town. As we pulled up the sign displayed the great price, but by the time we were at the pump it went up 50 fricking cents! Seems like those in the station should be ollie ollie oxen free. Of course, that's the least of our problems with old Marmie threatening to nuke Iranians to oblivion. And no one steps up (Congress looking at you) to say squat as he plays hide and seek with the nuclear codes. Are we living in an alternative world or just a turd filled one? Boggles the mind that the prez can threaten WWIII and congress does nothing. Fortunately, our fearless leader is a TACO.
Now that Iran has us by the straits who gets sent to negotiate, basically, Obama's original Iran plan? A couple of golf buddies and an incompetent VP, rather than experienced negotiators and nuclear specialists.
OUT'A BE A LAW In the midst of juggling vendors and spending a lot of money last week, I also had a dentist appointment requiring a drive downtown. As I am rounding the curve on 496 this dude in a black truck decides my lane is better than his. Rapid deployment to the dirt side of the pavement until he casually swings back to his lane. As I pass him, he's still looking down and fumbling with something. Now my question is, how do people have time to honk? I am right next to the dude and the time it would take to find the horn I would put me in the ditch or the side of his truck. I still think he doesn't know how close he came to a very bad morning. Fortunately, car cursing can be delivered while one is playing Mario Andretti Road games. Drive responsibly people.
Don't you love the DEI in play as the majority running the moon mission at NASA were female, the pilot was black and the two mission specialists on board were female and Canadian respectively! Power to the people! Peace out/Stay Strong/Love your Neighbor/Eat More Cake 💚 💙💛
