phynckeIt is the weekend and I am so glad. The pace at work is furious, have been very busy. I just finished my event that I am primarily responsible for and it went very well. Now I have another event and conferences to finish up. Just a lot to do, so much that it is hard to see straight. I combine that with the fact that I am now supervising two students and that means I am responsible for making sure they are busy and productive and know how to do what they are doing. That actually adds to my work load.
So I don't really have time to do much of anything. No time for my sidelines and I am barely keeping up with anything online. I have taken a hiatus on most graphics things and tread water in my RP-stuff. All that takes second tier to my professional life. Especially now that I am up for a promotion.
I did get news on that too. The way it is working now with that is that I will get the reclass but no additional money with that this year. I will have to wait until the budget crisis eases and they can increase my salary. I am pretty disappointed about that as I could have used the money now and I anticipate furloughs next year. I wanted to bolster my income so that I can take that hit next year. I expect to lose income due to losing time on my work hours. My hope was that a small increase would offset that. Total suckage on that score. The only good thing is that my reclass will put me in a much higher wage scale so that the income "potential" is there. So that is something. Not much, but something.
I did start writing a little something this week. A little first age tale in my series. I hope to chip away at this with the little time I do have to write and finish it up in June. I am not doing the Ardor in August this year as I have a boat load of my own story ideas to write. I will revisit that in the winter and I am sure I will join in on that then. I will enjoy the stories that everyone writes and cheer along with the excellent writers that participate in that. Hurrah!
So happy weekend to one and all and be well. What else has happened. I got my state tax refund today and found it was 350 more than I estimated. Thank goodness they corrected that for me. Ha!
