It was a long week, thanks in part to the conference that took up my Monday (and the nearly full work day I put in over the weekend to try and make up for that). It was a good week, though, and while the next couple of months still promise to be incredibly<\/i> busy, I squared away the most immediate and time-sensitive of my deadlines and managed to do some real work.<\/p>\n
I also met this morning with the young woman I’ll be mentoring, as part of my job objectives for 2014, who I only got to chat with very briefly at the office holiday party. I’m hoping I can give her some<\/i> insight into the development process, assuming I have any insights to give, and I think once we’ve settled on a project she can take the lead on that’ll be easier.<\/p>\n
I was supposed to go this evening to a “write-in” — basically, the kind of free-writing group I got to every Sunday, only this one with more people, and with a small price tag. My friend Maurice suggested it, but when train troubles prevented him from getting into Manhattan himself, I took it as a sign to take my tired body home and watch episodes of Babylon 5<\/i>. (I also watched the last How I Met Your Mother<\/i> episode, but that was really underwhelming.) I haven’t done a lot<\/i> of writing in 2014 yet, though I’m going to turn my attention back to it this weekend.<\/p>\n
I was so happy not to be taking my computer home with me this evening, I can’t even tell you. We’re only two weeks into January, but I’m so<\/i> glad this is a long weekend. I’m looking forward to not evening thinking about work until Tuesday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
