Dave’s sick, I’m off to the hinterlands of northern Colorado everyday… what’s this place coming to?

Parent/teacher conference this morning at 8am. The schedule given is twice as long as the meeting slots for any previous year, and we’ve been encouraged to bring along Justin, which is odd.

Ah well, it’s sixth grade — it’s supposed to be a weird year.

I’d be happier about the stuff that took up my whole day yesterday if 80% of it had had anything to do with my actual job, but that’s why I was hired: be the trainer guy who can also double as hard- and software tech support and who actually knows what a TCP/IP address is for.

I’m still baffled by this statement from a contractual partner of ours: “I know you’re ready to start this project, but I’m still 30-days out on thinking about it.”

Not scheduling it. Not meeting about it. THINKING about it. According to this guy, if I ask him what he wants for lunch today, he won’t be able to give me an answer for a month… he’s that far behind on thinking about things. I humbly submit that no one is that busy.
