Feb. 22nd, 2021 06:56 pmIt's only Monday and technically it is still winter here but today it was really sunny out and 70 degrees. Definitely not seasonal weather. Tomorrow it is going to be 74 degrees out. I think I will break out the shorts and t-shirts and flip flops. Why not?
Mishaps at work today. A faculty member missed my committee meeting and messed my project up. I run this award and he was part of the decision committee for the award and they could not get the work done (ie award the winners) without him. We waited for 45 minutes to see if he would show and then rescheduled the meeting - hoping that he would be able to make the new meeting. The no show emailed me later - he emailed the whole committee and apologized. He had forgotten the meeting and was very embarrassed. He is not teaching this semester so he is very loose with his calendar. Bummer for me - now we will have to rush everything. This is not how I like things to be but it is not my fault. I send all sorts of reminders about it. So it goes. Now I have a late afternoon meeting tomorrow. I try not to do late afternoon meetings. Oh well.
I am listening to a city covid meeting right now and they told us earlier that the UK variant has been detected here. This is very scary to me. I don't like those variants. They are more contagious and it is just not good. Not happy about it. So what that means is that I still have to be careful. Now is not the time to relax. Overall the numbers are coming down but these variants are out there. We have California variants too. Just got the vaccine - better stay safe - keep it together. I can do this. Not freaking out but just feel like it is good to be informed on this stuff.
So that is all. Trying to stay healthy and safe while my immunity builds here. Hope all is well with you.
