unicornduke | I don't know what day it is

had to ask myself if it was monday. it is not.

I was away for work the last two and a half days for a work conference on campus. I didn't really want to go since the sessions are generally more focused on things useful for the specialists and less for me, a technician. But! I contacted the seed lab on campus to ask about seed cleaning since we have seed for a trial that needs to be cleaned.

So instead of spending my days sitting around being slightly bored and doodling in a notebook, I got to look at cool seed equipment, use cool seed equipment and ask questions of very knowledgeable seed people in the lab. It was awesome. I ran into a coworker in the parking lot yesterday morning and she joked that they were all sitting around in the sessions talking about how to work better with campus faculty and staff and I was out doing it.

I also had enough time to run to the campus library and get some books! I got some work related books on seed production but also some spinning, weaving and dyeing books as well. I get them for a year unless someone requests them, then I'll need to mail it back.

There were snow squalls bad enough to get warnings right around leaving time yesterday so I sat in a parking lot and ate lunch while I waited for the storms to move through. I picked Mara up from the dog sitter yesterday afternoon on my way home.

I'm exhausted but hopefully will have a relaxing weekend. I need to figure out what days I'm taking off next week too.
