So I've had trouble posting here every day. In fact, I missed five in a row. This week was a week of extras. Extra work. Extra commitments. Extra everything but the tasty peppermint gum. First there was the interview for a local television station to promote a film festival. The station (though local) was an hour away and aired on the same channel as the NCAA Basketball tournament. It goes without saying that the game ran long, so the local news show was shortened (and so were the interviews). I had less time to talk about the festival already, but one of the hosts also began the interview with a question that had nothing to do with the festival. I got us back on track (badly because I was thrown), but that left only time for a quick run-through of events. On top of these problems, the committee chair forgot to show up, so the interview was all on me. Argh!
After amazingly large piles of papers to grade, I also had a cracked windshield to take care of. I set up an appointment, giving the shop plenty of time to order the glass, but when I went in, the manager had forgotten to make the order. He apologized and said he'd do it right then, so it would be in that afternoon! I went back the next morning, and the part was there, thank goodness. Now I have a new and clean windshield (at least for awhile).
The festival took up the week for me, so I can't say much more. I'm a failure at the daily slice-of-life posting but have still enjoyed thinking through some of the funny things that happen every day.
