beansideIt's D&D day! As is my norm, I reread a couple of the modules that I think the party might be heading towards. I know one of them is correct, but the rest is up to the players. (I've read the whole module, but only once, and that was months ago.)
Today shall be a busy day. I've got Dad's doctor tele-appointment. (I'd apparently put it on the wrong date in my calendar, since they called yesterday at 11 to confirm his appointment today at 1. I didn't even get the time right! Yeesh.) Then, I have the Hopkins call about the Covid study. Then, I may go to the Amish Market today rather than tomorrow, since we have Monster of the Week tomorrow, and that can be a time crunch. At some point, we have to watch Falcon and the Winter Soldier. Then, dinner, then D&D.
I didn't call BGE yesterday, because really we don't have any time in the next few weeks. We need at least a week to get the house in shape, then it's shot week, and nothing is getting done while we're all blah. Best guess, we're looking at the first week in May.
I need all my animals to take a step down this morning. Sam has been yelling nonstop since I got up, and now Yoda is all up in my shit. I love them all very much, but they're driving me crazy. I just want a few minutes of peace and quiet to type and drink my coffee. Maybe have a Bevita for breakfast.
Apparently, the giant project I've been working on every day at work is now my project. I'm "taking point on it" at least. I will give my manager credit. I told him that they said I needed leadership experience and he has done his best to get me some. I get the feeling that he's made it his personal goal to get me into a managerial position. Which I'm not complaining about! I don't mind the extra work, and it's good experience. I think part of what sank me last time was that my manager at the time was not enthusiastic about my readiness to be a manager. I don't think that'll be a problem again.
I have my quarterly one on one meeting next week. I normally hate these, but I'm kind of looking forward to it. I know it'll be a good review, and I usually come out of it with new things I can do to get the big raise at the end of the year.
I'm still going to apply this year if another team lead position comes up, mind you. That would be a huge salary increase. I'm already making more now than I ever have before, and that would be probably another $20k a year. More responsibility, of course, but I think I can handle it.
