Great Day, Little Sleep
This morning, so far, has been great. Up early (3am) and decided to venture
out. I was just in the mood to get out and enjoy the early morning so I was
down in Castro by 6:30am.
Its so relaxing not having the regular noise of the early morning. I hopped
the train and came to Embarcadero figuring I would walk around aimlessly and
see what was in store for me. I had to be here anyway for part two of the
workshop so I figured Id get a 2 hour start and explore.
I cant tell you enough how fantastic its been. The sun is shining and the
birds are chirping and its near 70 already (not to mention its Friday).
I found a cute little park and had coffee in Embarcadero One. For those who
know Embarcadero Center, you know it has four parts. I was a little
disappointed that there wasnt anyplace around with "free" wireless but I
paid $5 for a one day pass to the coffee house (which I signed on one and
then ventured off). *chuckle*
Along the walk, I ended up at the peer at Fishermans Wharf. The first time
I actually walked to the end of the peer to stare out over the bay.
Fantastic! I never realized people actually get up at day break, take their
fishing poles, and actually fish on the peer. Who'd of thunk it at
"Fishermans Wharf".
So with that I was heading back to California St for my meeting with plenty
of time to spare. I stopped at the light to cross the street and pushed the
"walk" button (which in my experience has never worked). Now I wonder, why
do people (like in an elevator or cross walk), walk up and push the button
after its clearly already pushed? Do they think it may work faster? Did I
mention they never work?
It was all fine though because I was in a great mental state and there was a
cute guy crossing which I needed to watch more closely. I took some more
pictures along the way and ended up back at Embarcadero Center. As I was
taking pictures there, a security guard came up and advised me that I wasnt
allowed to take them without permission. *chuckle* I already got the ones
I wanted and had to get to the meeting anyway. I kindly apologized and
walked off.
Here I sit at Starbucks with about 20 minutes to spare. The meetings across
the street so I can be there in a jiffy. Now Im on to part two of the
workshop.....
So the day was ok. First, Im not sure if I explained the stuff from Wednesday, but we learned a lot about resume's. The questions I had asked based on my old format, was kicked down and dragged through the mud. So, me being a good sport, revamped it the way she wanted. Wrong!!!!
She crossed out stuff, wrote all over it, and pretty much told me what needed to be done. Little did she know, the stuff she was telling me, was exactly how my resume was to begin with. I guess I should learn to trust my instincts.
With that, we got done around 2:30 and I was home by 3:15 instead of the normal 4:45. A nice bonus for a Friday. I also discovered my Mac-Mini came early which practically made me orgasm in my tracks lol. I wasnt expecting it to be delivered until Monday but definitely hoped for it to come earlier.
Anyway, Im now trying to decide if I want to go out this evening. I spent most of the afternoon playing with the computer, setting things up, and getting it up and running. Its all working out great, however in the process I forgot to take my nap. Too late now I guess.
So here I live and type from the new computer debating if I want to stay in and clean some more. I wasnt expecting my new baby so early, and the room wasnt really ready. I have speakers to set up still, wires to hide, desk to clean, and a whole bunch of crap to find places for (keep in mind, I dont have any room to spare lol).
So I will keep you posted. More later, but for now, happy Friday.
