This week has been a week of Mondays at work. Wasn’t there a full moon recently? Did the Perseid meteor shower have anything to do with this? Isn’t there something going on with Mars this month? There’s been a weird vibe – so much so that my boss has dubbed this Augtember. Fall quarter tuition was due this past Monday and we’ve been seeing A LOT of students. We normally see an increase during the last week of a quarter, but its usually about finals. I hope Friday is quiet like most Fridays during the summer. I hope.

I went to a Technology Resource Fair down @ Tacoma Goodwill this morning. Such a disappointment. Yes, lots of cool technology, but nothing to refer to DSS. The presentation was geared mostly toward K-12, but the audience was made up of mostly higher ed and non-profits. A few hours of work I’ll never get back.

I’m signed up for the CK Scrapbook Convention in November. Actually, my mortgage broker gifted two classes to me because we stuck with her. I think I’ll sign up for a couple more next week. I’ll want to compare notes with a couple of my coworkers so we can make a day of it or meet up at the vendor fair or for dinner. So excited!

My package from SEI came yesterday, but I haven’t opened it yet. It should have a new album kit plus software to create digital scrapbooks using the same “paper”. I can’t wait to try it out. I need to get information and photos from relatives if I’m going to pull this genealogy/scrapbook together. My idea is to use the software, create the pages and print to photo paper. Plus, I still need to design my Christmas cards. Maybe I can do that this weekend.
