My, how time flies… much like my will to update this page at least once a week, time has flown right out the window. Defenestrated, it would seem, by my working a week with Alberta Learning.
In addition to grading PATs, I had been wrestling with my CD-R drive (which had been giving me significant grief until I figured out that, for whatever reason, the media I was burning to would only burn properly at a speed no faster than 8x), and packaging what discs I had been able to burn successfully. While not doing that or marking for eight hours a day, my time’s been spent reading fiction by Stephen King, drinking plenty of cold drinks to combat the hellishly hot temperatures Alberta’s been experiencing of late, and putting said cool-me-downers on any one of the many coasters my office is currently littered with (thanks to the deadly duo of Mr. CD-R Drive and Mr. CD-R Media).
Now, if you’d excuse me, I really need to shut down. There’s a monstrous storm approaching — the lightning is getting closer and closer as I type this, as seen in the flash and heard in the thunder — and I’ve a burning urge to enjoy the experience from my balcony. Ta!
