One busy week down, one to go

unicorndukeWork stuff is going at speed, I'm writing a presentation on how to grow legumes for seed and it turns out I haven't taken a single photo of processing pea, bean or cowpea seed in the last four years. Amazing. I'll snag some pictures from the internet I guess (source given).
The first two seed meetings went very well, good attendance and good discussions. We had to rein our speakers in since one of them decided he was just going to do whatever he wanted despite all our outlines. There were several emails about it afterwards. He was cranky because he felt that the outline of the entire seven week course was terrible despite him having access to it for months, we've talked about it for months and decided it was fine months ago. But the day before I think he actually looked at it and was irritated. Ugh.
Saturday I got the oil changed in the snowblower and got fuel for the chainsaw mixed. I didn't do the oil in the lawnmower because it's the kind you need to tip upside down to change and I knew there was still fuel in it. I didn't feel like letting it sit and run out of fuel so I skipped it. I really need to empty it before winter next time. Also didn't have enough oil for the generator so I'm picking some more up tomorrow and will change that soon. I did get a lot of burning done, almost all of the junk wood pile is gone and I spent some time wandering around the backyard picking things up and moving them to the correct place. Like the metal pipe I found in the brush is now in the scrap metal pile. The shed stuff pile below the balcony is almost gone which is awesome.
Hockey game yesterday was super fun! The Whale won their game 6-4 and it was a dramatic and fun game. I took a sign and apparently the broadcasters thought it was very good because they showed it three different times lol.
This week, I'm working from home today, in the office/conference center tomorrow, then conference center wed/thurs all day, hopefully leaving by 5 to get home in time for the seed meetings in the evening. Thursday's weather is looking nasty, sleet, freezing rain all day. Ugh.
I'm taking Friday off work to lay around and play video games. Or possibly do the sidejob work I've got waiting for me, I need to send an email to one person and say it'll be delayed another week. Sunday, another hockey game!

I've been the speaker after a speaker like that. They had a plan to say something and the only way to stop them would have involved physically dragging them off the stage, allotted times be damned.
Here's hoping you can dodge the freezing rain.
All I've done this week is bundle some cardboard and sort the USB connectors. (If I go by the tub sizes, I have fifty litres of USB and video cables plus associated devices. I am unclear on how precisely this has happened.)
